I've had a very busy week. At last I have managed to finish the shawl. Silly as it sounds but even though I only had two rows left to do it was finding the time to do them. There was over 700 stitches on the needle and it took about 45 minutes to do a row and it's not one of the nicest things to leave mid row. Anyway I decided Sunday was the day to finish. So when I sat down to watch the F1 I just got on with it.
I'm very pleased with it and I've decided to give it to Steph. I'm not as keen on the colour as I was when it was in a ball. It looked different then.
I also finished this scarf and I'm now half way through another one.
Last Wednesday was the monthly meeting of Spectrum and again I managed to stay out of trouble although I was told I needed a tutorial. Gina gave us a demo using Markel sticks, this is something we had to do for our City and Guilds but it's always good to have a play and we all enjoyed it. This is my piece of paper that I worked on and I am going to develop it some more. I did do some work on fabric but I didn't like it so it went in the bin.
We are continuing with our round robin. I passed the piece I was working on, to Sue and Caterina passed this piece onto me.
Isn't it a fabulous piece, I'm really struggling to work out what do with it. The only thing I can come up with is to decorate the flower centres............... in red.

The shawl looks lovely - lucky Steph. You have been busy finishing the scarf as well. Looking forward to seeing
what you do with the Round Robin.
Beautiful knitting, Steph's very lucky. Your oilbar work has given me an idea. I may have a little play.I think red flower centres would work very well.
I would rather have Catriona's lovely piece to work on than those darn eyes! Red centres would work a treat! The shawl is very pretty.
