One last close up to end my run of Finial posts. I especially loved this variegated blue yarn, even though it turned out to be a little tricky to photograph.

Pattern: Finial shawl (available on Ravelry and Payhip now).

Finial isn’t cabled on both sides, so despite the intricacy of the design there are plenty of rest rows. Here you can see what the ‘wrong’ side looks like.

The introductory week for Finial shawl is wrapping up, so get in quick if you want to use the introductory discount. You’ll find the pattern on Ravelry and Payhip.

I had a lot of fun with the cables on this shawl so I've just got to show you a close up.

Pattern: Finial shawl (available on Ravelry and Payhip now).

Finial shawl is knit with fingering weight yarn (two skeins of each of two colours) so she’s a big shawl, but she’s still fine enough to be scrunched up around your neck. Because let’s be realistic, while we all pose our shawls beautifully draped, scrunched up is how they usually actually get worn.

New pattern alert! Finial shawl is now available via Payhip or Ravelry.

The theme for #ShowMeYourKnits this week is love, and for a minute I was stumped because I don't have any designs with hearts on them or anything even in pink/red... hang on! I do! My Liliales shawl is pink. So here we are.

Squeezing in one more stripey knit for this week's #ShowMeYourKnits. This is my Wavelength scarf.

A few years ago my Dad visited Louie & Lola yarns on a trip to Tasmania and picked these colours out for me. They’ve been sitting in my stash ever since. It took me a while to decide what to do with them because it had to be something pretty enough to match the yarn, but they are now underway.

Don't know how well vertical stripes fit in to the stripe theme for this week's #ShowMeYourKnits, but it certainly looks stripey to me. This is my Triode shawl, three colour brioche knit in Aran weight yarn.

It's stripes week for #ShowMeYourKnits. Almost everything I knit is brioche which is kinda stripey, if you look at it the right way. But for properly stripey stripes I can't go past my Westward shawl.

Gotta show you some more cables for #ShowMeYourKnitting. This is my Concordance scarf.

Is it still cable week for #ShowMeYourKnits? Because I’ve definitely got more cables. Here, for example, is my Bubblewrap shawl.

It was my birthday a couple of weeks ago and to celebrate my family arranged to meet for morning tea at Blackwattle alpaca farm, which is not far from my home in Canberra. The adults liked the cheesecake, the kids liked the alpacas, and I liked the Blackwattle yarn! Fun for all.

So for those of us new to this app, there’s this thing called #ShowMeYourKnits where you… well, it’s all in the name really. This week the theme is cables and there’s this shawl I’m working on (it’s nearly ready, I’ll get it published at some point I promise) which is perfect for this prompt.

My social media ‘strategy’ has up until now consisted of photos of #knitting posted semi-regularly. This app seems to have more of a text focus, does that mean I need to attempt wit as well?

Well hello there. Let’s figure this thing out, shall we?
