There hasn’t been much work done on my handspun shawl since you last saw it. In fact, there’s been no work. I hadn’t bothered to print the pattern off, and was just working off the pdf off my laptop. Then after Christmas, my laptop crapped out.

The pattern was purchased through Payhip, so sadly, I don’t have a copy in my ravelry library. My computer should be back up and running (files intact) by the end of this week – but in the mean time, I needed something to knit on.

It’s a skien of Farmer’s Daughter and the colour is Bitterroot. I won it ages ago from a little blog contest held by Bridget.

Even though it’s a semi-solid, it’s a a pretty busy one, so I decided to keep it simple with just a 2-2 rib. But the skein did come with a lighter matching mini skein (the little ball to the right), so I thought it would be fun to use it for heels and toes.

I think this pair will end up in the gift box – because its NEVER too early to start on Christmas presents!
