Shawlette and Tusal Check-in

I have been wanting to do a bit of knitting for some time and as my daughter and family were due for a visit this month, I thought I would make a little shawlette for my daughter for the cooler summer evenings.  Making the most of DH driving into town, I went to a favourite shop for the yarn but they didn´t have the colour I wanted in a light weight yarn and I ended up dithering and buying wool - hate making quick decisions when DH with a noticeable frown is waiting outside in a no parking zone.

I bought three balls of wool and found a pattern at Ravelry called Haruni and started knitting straight away.

Knitting a lacy design while watching TV in the evenings is not really the best thing to do and I made quite a few mistakes which weren´t much fun to put right when working with hundreds of stitches.  Anyway it knitted up very quickly.

The design included three sizes and I wanted something small, just to cover the shoulders, so I followed the pattern for the smallest and made a crochet flower to fasten.

Here is my daughter with the results.  I don´t know if she will ever wear it.

TUSAL  DAY

Today is also Tusal check-in day and so here is my jar of ORTs for this month.  Not a lot of new threads but getting to fill the jar nevertheless.

Be back later this week with the Smalls check-in.  Hope you will pop by.
