WIP Wednesday...

I've been in the mood for mindless knitting recently... easy work that I can enjoy in the evenings, or just knit a row or two when I have the time...

These socks have made a little progress...


My major project love at the moment though has been this shawl...


I'm using the simple shawl recipe from Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's Knitting Rules, and just increasing the width of the rows of brown as I go along...


I don't really have an intended size in mind... just until I run out of yarn. I'm hoping it will be quite large and cosy - something to keep me warm in the snow :-)

(Okay, so we haven't actually had any snow yet... but a girl can hope, right?)
(Also, can I just say how hard it is to photograph a shawl in progress??)

    both the socks and shawl are looking great! I particularly love the subtle striping of the yarn you are using for those socks.

      Thanks so much! I love the self-striping too - just enough to keep the rather simple pattern interesting :-)

    Great knits! The yarn of the socks reminds me of strawberry candy. :-)

    Yes, shawls are wicked hard to photograph when in progress. :)
    Those socks are so fantastic. Love the yarn you are knitting them up in.
