First Shawl finished.

It took six weeks and a lot of ripping back but I am so glad I persevered, here is the finished shawl.

The design is by the very talented Bristol Ivy and the pattern is called Thorn.









I have now started to learn and make granny squares thanks to a link on Ravelry by very helpful JustDeb0505, who shared this brilliant link on You Tube that I played many times before getting the hang of it but am loving them now.

I shall be not only making them as a traditional cushion cover but am also going to make more scarves from them too using up my sock yarn in the process.
