New Design Release

I have just released a new design - Cockatoo Mist Shawl which is available to purchase here
Cockatoo Mist Shawl price $5.00.

The inspiration for this asymmetrical shawl came from watching winter sunsets through the fog and mist.

I would like to thank my daughter Hannah McLaren from Hannah McLaren Photography for her wonderful photos. She is an awesome photographer I have provided a link above if you would like to see some of her work.

 I would also like to thank my beautiful granddaughter Laylah who named and kindly modelled the shawl for me.

This is a fun knit using 4ply or 5ply. I just used yarns from my stash and there would be endless colour combinations you could use to create one your own.

What I Have Been Up To

With a young family member recently requiring Cranial surgery headbands were required. I made these four - three crocheted and one knitted. All were free patterns on Raverly - links below for you.

Here is the beautiful recipient prior to her surgery.

Of course she had to have a new blanky to take with her. This crochet pattern was from Purl Soho, Chevron Baby Blanket very addictive, another free pattern here is the link:
