New WIPS...

Here are my current WIPs!



Ysolda's Ishbel shawl, knitted in Colinette Jitterbug - Ravelry link



Buttercup, a very popular pattern at the moment - Ravelry link



Here's why my knitting has been rather slow of late! - can't knit at home any more due to this little monster, so I have to rely on my Tuesday night knit group to make progress.

Knit the City

Knit the City are the latest group of guerilla crafters to take knitting to the streets, this time in my home city of London. I love their latest project, a cosied-up phonebox in the heart of Parliament Square.

Casting on Ishbel

My Tuesday night knitting group has inspired me to pick up sticks again lately - more specifically, to knit a shawl since they all tote such gorgeous examples. To this end, I picked up the above yarn from Loop earlier today (the store is a dangerous 5 minute walk from my house). I picked up some Blue Sky Alpaca in a lovely smoky navy blue, and some baby pink Colinette Jitterbug, which will become my Ishbel shawl.
