Nobody's perfect shawl :)

Perfect imperfection!
Shawl of colour play and happiness & me :)

Amazing Emma from Potter&Bloom came up with this easy to follow recipe for mindless crochet and random colour play saying "LIVING IMPERFECTLY ON PURPOSE".

Straight Forward Shawl

Simple, fast, squishy & beautiful.

Perfect make for those moments you feel stuck. Works up fast and if your kid doesn't drive you mad adding colours on the go (those obviously resulting in yarn-ends for weaving session later) .. i should have just picked some self striping yarn :D and I would have - for her shawl - after I had tested and made one for myself :D (how come I still haven't learned that with tinies around you better not plan too far :D) if she hadn't snatched my yellow scarf and declared it hers! but she did and i rather like her colour choices :)
At the end i crocheted it together to form a cowl so she would have an simple and warm solution not a headache for everyone involved .. she is still just 4 you know :P

Happy shawls

5 done, sent off and well received :)

Each and every one of the five ladies got a different color combination for two reasons: 

1. because those lovely ladies are completely different
2. because it was way more interesting for me :P

If you would like to make one for yourself then head on to the ravelry for pattern and few posts back here for my explanation on how to join it like a cowl..

a little bit of Knitting

and even less words ...
as I already said in my dreamcather post - last year for Christmas I made presents myself ..  :) well at least some of them :P

I hadn't knitted for a while so I thought I should :)
and i knitted reyna shawl for my mom. She loved it and is wearing it a lot now - this makes me happy.

I didn't follow the scheme fully (shocing! :D) I just changed lacy rows and simple rows as I felt at that moment ...
