    About

    I wanted a quick and cosy shawl to wrap around my shoulders when chilly but could be removed more easily than a cardigan when a "power surge" struck as I'm a lady of a "certain age"!!! I loved making this although my hands find larger needles a bit of a pain literally.This was my holiday knit before starting back on my customer's knitty bits. I just love this colour which is even deeper in real life and so soft and cosy to wear. It's proving a very useful addition to my wardrobe :-)

        Thankyou Stella. Loved making it although my hands ache with big needles. Back to my normal 4mm and Dk for designing and customer orders now.

        @Pat E: me too, but it was worth going out of my comfort zone just this once!

        Certainly @Stella Ackroyd: I just find this so easy to slip on and off when needed and very cosy :-)
