#wipwednesday working on the Falling Leaves Ruana by Genevra Lee. Just started the final lace pattern. I aim to get the back finished, and then I must re- start the wedding shawl I'm supposed to be knitting. I messed up my first attempt so parked it. πŸ™ƒ

It's finished. It'll be off to its new owner on Wednesday. I'm really glad I don't have that on my lap anymore in this heat. It was more than a little warm underneath it πŸ₯΅

They are beautiful 😍. The Papillon is on my to do list. I just haven't found the right yarn yet.

Thank you, that's very kind of you. I made that 9 years ago for a friend's birthday. She liked it πŸ˜€.

Once you get into it it's quite an easy make. I've made two so far. Good luck with yours πŸ˜€

#wipwednesday body and pockets finished now on the first sleeve. It's getting there. I've been very good. Despite going through my stash last weekend, I've not casted on another shawl. 3 weeks until we break up, still determined to get this finished.

#wipwednesday I'm back on the Tryon Creek cardie that I started at Christmas and keep putting aside in favour of knitting shawls 🀣. It's a lovely pattern, but it's not 4ply or a shawl. I'm determined I'll get it finished by the time we break up for the summer hols.

It took about an hour to work out how I was going to place the colours depending on how much of each one I had. My thought was, did they bounce off each other. There were some beautiful yarns in the mix, but I only had about 12-20g of each one, and I wanted them to shine.

Thanks for the compliment

Thank you 😊, although, to be honest, it had more to do with how much I had of each yarn. With the exception of the mohair for the eyelets, it's all leftovers from previous projects.
