i finished the shawl this last week too, hooray, it really is very lovely, 

i'd heard very mixed reviews about knitting with this yarn but i have to say i rather liked using it, it was a little slubby in places but it only broke the once (& i blame myself for that one, not the yarn) & i love love loved watching the colours unfold, 

the pattern was a very easy one, i did tire of the rows as they started getting very long, but once the end was in sight, i was encouraged enough to get it finished, i also have about 60g left over from my 2nd skein , which may become a hat i think!

i even wore it last week to do the school run, as it really had been very chilly here, 

i've been baking tons of cookies today, for the pre-school stall at our village fete tomorrow, so please all keep you fingers crossed the rain stays away this year, we can't have another revels like the one last year!

(having just read through that post i can safely say i topped last years cookie baking record!- but then i haven't had to make any costumes this year)
