FO Friday: Maia Shawl

I actually finished this a couple of weeks ago but haven't had chance to post about it. Its turned out really nice. I added in an extra row in the middle to make it a little larger, unfortunately I then ran out of yarn on the last row so had to miss off the frilly edging and leave it straight :(

I did leave some of the edging on at the tips of the shawl but am debating whether to undo the row and put it all straight instead or leave it as is

Overall I'm really pleased with how its turned out.

Bargains and maybe a new hobby

So I went today to lovely ladies house as she had advertised some yarn for sale locally. Her house is amazing I want to live in her sewing room and she has this fabulous quilting table. Well anyway back to the point I got a whole bag of yarns, silks, embroidery wools, some undyed wool so I can have a go at dyeing my own, a tapestry frame and some bag handles all for the bargain price of £5 :)

She also showed me some Tunisian crochet she has been working on and I can see a new hobby I might just have to have a go at. Off to look for some Tunisian crochet hooks now.
