I'm back!!

We had a lovely "honeymoon"/Summer holiday. 11 days camping in Cornwall (it rained every day except 1) and then 5 days camping in my parents' garden on the Isle of Wight. I think it rained most of those days as well. Oh well, it wouldn't be a British Summer if it didn't involve getting wet at some point lol.

As it's a Wednesday I thought I'd share with you my two current WIP's. The first is my Granny stripes blanket. I worked out I needed to do 6 repeats of the 17 colour pattern and my goal for this month was to finish the second repeat. Well I took the blanket on holiday with me and well... take a look!



I'm now onto the fifth pattern repeat! I'm very much enjoying it, the right amount of mindlessness and it works up so quickly. It's getting a bit big to cart around now but it was lovely working on it in the evenings in the tent with it draped over my lap, it's so warm :-)

My other WIP is a lace shawl, the Boo Knits Mystery KAL. As it's a mystery KAL I can't share on photos on here. I was still away when the first clue was released so I'm a little behind at the moment. Luckily the first part of the pattern is very simple and quick to knit up so hopefully I'll catch up soon. For now, here's a quick picture of the yarn and beads I'm using. I can't wait to see the next clue and to be able to show you the finished shawl



Hopefully I'll be organised to do a FO Friday post to show off my wedding shawl and my Framlingham. Actually I might split them over two weeks as the Framlingham needs a quick wash and de-bobbling as it got a lot of use on holiday! See you later in the week!
