Hooked Yarn

Crocheted Shawl

But first a bit of eye candy!  Have you heard of Gudrun Sjoden clothing?  Its gorgeous, as are the catologues.  I’ve been getting them for a couple of years now and I love their clothing and photography and colours and shapes…

The latest one came in the post today and it is just beautiful, I can look at the pages for hours.  I think this is my favourite

 

Obviously even if I could afford it, I would look a complete muppet, not an ethereal beauty gliding round the streets of Barry like I’d imagine, but I can dream! 

How fabulous is this too!

 

And now the finished shawl, it’s not my friends birthday till October so I’m going to have to put it somewhere safe and I have a new project to add to my list, I want one in turquoise!  The pattern was quite easy and the gorgeous lace weight wool I got from fyberspates was an absolute dream.  When I saw how fine it was I was initially terrified, but you soon get used to it and it is definatly worth persevering as it is so soft and light on your shoulders.
