DIVINATION from Innocent Bones' September MOOD box. A quick and easy stitch following all the fussy backstitch on the Forever Friends bear. Eight hours' stitching, give or take.

Wild Swan shawl designed by Nim Teasdale knit with Jamieson's of Shetland 1ply cobweb. An intricate beaded lace shawl knit in much finer yarn than the pattern recommended

My friend got married so I knit her a shawl. This is Wild Swan by Nim Teasdale knit in Jamieson's of Shetland 1ply cobweb. Yes, I knit a fingering weight shawl in cobweb weight. My brain is now on holiday

I finished my DMC Cherry Blossom cross stitch, sewed some felt into the back of the hoop and tied a pink ribbon in a bow to hang it, then I finally got around to finishing my black cat stitch into a bag charm. Feeling rather pleased with myself actually

I finished my Tangled Bliss socks last night! They took 35 hours to knit (I usually take 20 to 25 hours to knit socks for myself) and used 85g/369m of yarn. They don't match the pattern (I used 2 colours instead of 3) or even each other but I love them! (Sock Madness r7)

I've made a little progress on my #GoGoDynamoShawl by Stephen West... I probably would have made a lot more progress if I didn't keep putting it down to knit socks ๐Ÿคฃ
