I haven’t posted my latest knitting projects so I’ll do them all at once now.

This shawl, using my go-to triangular shawl pattern, used up the last of my textured yarn. There wasn’t enough of any one colour to do anything with but I think they go together well enough in this pattern.

I purchased a couple of balls of this yarn in different colours – the label assured me that one ball would make a shawl. I didn’t particularly like the pattern they gave me but I went ahead with it anyway. It is very fine and took a long time to knit up. About half-way through I decided I would send it to Caye as she had a birthday in June. Sadly we lost Caye before I was finished knitting her gift. I’m sure this will end up as a donation but I’ll make sure it goes to someone I know. I’ll use the second ball for a baby blanket.

I found some Phentex yarn in the bottom of the bin I’ve been knitting out of. Does that sound weird? I’m not actually in the bin! I tried to make some slippers but it isn’t the “old” plastic phentex but more of a softer (but not very soft) yarn. When the slippers didn’t work I made this hat and used the remainder of the yarn in a couple of scrap afghans I’m making.
