WIP Wednesday 12 - Halloween is coming

Well I'm still working on the Ripple wrap shawl, I think I'm nearly there on it it just depends how much bigger I want it really. Maybe one more repeat of the rainbow.

I've also finally gotten the blanket I started for my eldest back out the cupboard and I am determined to finish it in the next week. Its quite appropriate for this week also as its very halloweeny in pattern. I've finished hand sewing the spider and hopefully will put the final piece with the spider on the front and add the two missing stripes to the back so I can put it together tomorrow.

WIP Wednesday 11

Well my shawl is going well. I'm loving how the colours are coming out on this and its a fab pattern to do in front the tele. You don't need to think about it too much which is just what I need at the moment.

(The colours are a little brighter IRL the flash on my camera is making them a little flat somehow.) 

My cushions not changed since last week as I've just been doing the shawl.

I'm also starting today making the Zen jacket for the G+ CAL. I've chosen to make it with angels and elephants 50% alpaca/50% merino yarn in mevagissey colourway that I had here in my stash.

WIP Wednesday 10

I've actually started a couple of new things this week.

First is a new shawl. I'm using the Rippled wrap pattern by Cheri McEwen and the rainbow Kauni laceweight I had in my growing yarn stash.

Its very easy to do and seems to be working up quickly at the moment though I think as it gets bigger it may start to get a little monotonous as its all double crochet.

Secondly I've started making a Blooming Flower Cushion following the pattern done on the Attic24 blog. Again its an easy pattern to follow especially with all the great pictures she's added to the pattern on her blog.

The yarn I'm using for this is a mixed bag of bright colours I got from natural mamas FSOT left over from another crafty mamas blanket. Looking at the amount I'm likely to use for this cushion I may have enough left over to make a lap quilt to go with it. I'll definitely have enough to do another pillow if nothing else.
