23 Travelling Companions Shawl


This is intended to be a stash buster. It is a triangular version of The traveling-companion shawl posted as a free download on Ravelry by Karen Strauss of Sea Island Studio Designs. It has progressed beyond the photo shown and I added a lace design which wan't in the original. It is currently on the needles...

22 Simple Neck kerchief


This mini scarf was made using a skein of variegated wool bought from the Spinners and Weavers Guild, Melbourne. The pattern was a simple triangular shawl one, based on 'Little Shells'

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.

20 Little Shells Shawlette




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.

19 Variegated green shawlette

This shawlette is loosely based on the 'Holden Shawlette'. I added a crochet border and used a one-off skein of yarn from the 'Spinners and Weavers Guild'


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... 






Cupcake mittlets:



Cupcake mittlets by Shanta Ramachandran - also a Ravelry download and very pretty in pink  and warm too.
