Kate Shawl nearly finished!

nearly finished!

I took this photo at the beginning of the week and I'm now just a few rows away from finishing this project!  I'm very pleased to have nearly completed it and am making it my focus at the moment as I want to get it done and start WEARING it! (cccold!!)
I will have used 4 balls of felted tweed and will try and remember to measure it when I put up a final "finished!" shot.
NEXT to be knit with determination will be Tender my stripey jumper!
On hold at the moment is the Union Jack scarf while I try and decide whether to bother!
After a lengthy discussion with knit-pal-Sally who is knitting this and other of similar themed motifs on a rather flash cardi/jacket and also had some difficulties with carrying the yarn (thus proving is not me being an idiot!) we've come up with a couple of action plans to get it knit - nicely! and I will have a go with some other yarns to test our theory!

Other projects lined up:

Christmas Stocking panel

At the same time as buying the fabric for the nursery bag, I also bought a panel for a Christmas stocking and some plain red fabric, wadding and calico and plan to sew a pair of decorated front/plain backed stockings for the new family babies - sil's grands for Christmas gift.
After taking advice from cyber-sew-pal-Debs who is expert in quilting, I've decided to line and quilt both front and back rather than just the front as suggested in the shop.
