21 Summerflies

This shawl is also based on a free Ravelry download called Summerflies by Donna Griffin. The original shawl was a bit small (I wanted a shawl that reached to my waist) so I repeated the two lace sections. It was knitted using a beautiful silky wool (Madil Seta Kid) which was a pleasure to work with.

This little gem is also a free Ravelry download by Holly Griffin-Weidner. Here is the link to the relevant Ravelry page Little Shells - Free Ravelry download. I knitted it using Debbie Bliss raw silk in green.

18 Assorted Handwarmers

The handwarmers shown (above) are based on a free pattern on Ravelry.com called 'Emerald green handwarmers'. I preferred mine to be blood red. They are quick and easy to knit - they took me just one evening to do and I have now knitted three pairs.

The handwarmers (below) are also based on a free pattern from Ravelry and are known as Cafe au lait handwarmers. They are toasty warm and absolutely beautiful...

15 Caledonian Tartan rug

This pattern was made many years ago as a footy blanket for one of my sons. Unfortunately I did not keep a copy of the instructions and will need to do a 'forensic' on the one I made, to make up another one for my other son. It was made using instructions from The Australian Women's Weekly Craft Library - Easy to Crochet Tartan Rugs book by Carina McCartney and Rob McCartney (ISBN 1 86396 127 5, pg 21.
