Brandywine Shawl

Since I've started posting, I thought I'd share my Brandywine Shawl as well. I have a couple of more rows left to complete before I bind off and block it. I love this shawl and can't wait to wear it.

It's knit with two 50g skeins of Manos del Uruguay silk blend. For anyone interested, the colour is 3109. I knit this on 4.5 mm., again because I knit tight and had to adjust for gauge, but it's a treat to knit. Once I've blocked the shawl I'll model it and post a photo.

The designer is the very talented Rosemary (Romi) Hill and the pattern is available for purchase on Ravelry. Five dollars of the $6.50 cost goes to Doctors Without Borders.

Welcome to Knit One Frog Too

Knit One Frog Too. I was tempted to call it Frog More Than I Knit. I know it's the perfectionist in me, but when I hear the words, don't worry we can fix that, I immediately think, how long is this going to take to rip out! This blog will feature my WIPS as well as completed projects; unique knitting items, some of which I own and others on my wish-list; knitting books I love and upcoming events in and around Ontario. I hope you'll follow along.

WIP - Midwest Moonlight Scarf

This is my current WIP, it's from the book Scarf Style by Pam Allen. The pattern is Midwest Moonlight by Ivy Bigelow and you can find several versions of it on Ravelry. I've knit this on 4.5 mm Addis as I knit tight. The yarn is Rowan Cashsoft Baby DK and I've purchased four 50g balls.

I love this colour and chose it to go with a brown jacket.
