Fifi shawl

I think the shawl / lace bug has bitten me. I've never knit shawls before, and now I've made two already this spring.

 

Ok, admitted, this one was started in January, so it was not really a quick knit. It rested for a few months, I think I took it up again in April or so.

Little knits for charity

I made a few little knits for charity. Originally I wanted to give them all to the Essen animal shelter but then ended up giving only the big bunny and the bookmark-socks. The idea is to sell these knits for the benefit of the shelter. They haven't sold yet, but I hope they will. I also donated a cat bed I made a while ago, it was bought immediately! I'd better get making more of them.

It's one gorgeous shawl

As you may have read, I'm getting married this month. I have a gorgeous sleeveless dress, so I needed to knit something to cover up in case it was cold. So I made an Ishbel shawl. It's gorgeous, just perfect! I am so proud of myself for knitting lace, with actual laceweight yarn! By the way, that's one off my 101 list, which I've just updated. But now back to the shawl!

Corona is finally finished!

It's finally done! According to my Ravelry bookkeeping I started it in December.

 

Here are the stats:

 

Pattern: Corona by CanarySanctuary.
Needles: 4mm circulars; the main one was 80cm, plus I used another one when starting the cable panels. I can't remember how long that one was, but it's not important anyway!
Yarn: Bright red, really cheap acrylic from NKD

A little bunny friend

A little bunny for Easter! Actually, he's been done for a few weeks now - this was my March "small item" - I made myself a small item club last December: I basically packed a pattern and yarn for a project into a paper bag and labelled them one per month, and now I'm knitting them one per month! It's really fun!

You know how the scraps and half-balls just seem to become more in the deep corners of the stash closet, and before you know it the rest-bag is full again? I do. Therefore from time to time I have to make some kind of scrap project to clear the bag out.
