Just as I ended the last year with some knitting finishes, I started this year with a knitting finish! This is the One Love shawl by Joji Knits. It was a mystery call last November that I started with a couple friends, but I got off track while focusing on Christmas presents and being sick. I picked it back up in January, finished it, and just put it on the blocking matt this last weekend!
Isn't the colour just beautiful? I had this one skein of merino/silk dyed with natural dyes by some local dyer (how often can I use the word 'dye' in one sentence?) for ages, but I think combining it with this really simple lace repeat was the right call. It brings the colours out marvelously!
In other knitting news, I picked my Blanket To Go by knitcat Designs back up. I think I showed it once or twice before when I was still working on the first colour - I have now finished the second and, since taking this picture, started on the third.
There are going to be five colours in total, so I got quite a bit to go still, but so far, I am really enjoying myself, so we'll see how far I'll get before becoming bored with the repeat!
