Daybreak shawl

I’ve been busy knitting to get this finished.

Its the Stephen West Daybreak Shawl.

I must admit that when it first came off my needles I wrapped it around my neck and was completely underwhelmed!

I  hoped that blocking would turn it into something I loved. And thankfully it did.

So soft around my neck

Love it.

Blocking made all the difference

Love the changing blues of the Schoppel zauberball!

It was a Stephen West pattern found here on ravelry.

I was so glad not to be disappointed.  The fabulous quality of the yarn was reflected in it’s price!

This will be the last self indulgent knit for a while. I need to get back to my crochet amigurumi.

I’ve a monkey and 2 crochet hotwater bottle cases ( inspired by Patch ) for a new born and 2 birthdays  in November.

I’ve a dinosaur I’d like to fit in along with a commission for 2 more  Brenda Ballerina’s before Christmas.

As well as another Amineko Cat requested to be found in my mum’s stocking on Christmas day.

I’ve foolishly also signed up to a crochet blanket CAL!!!!!!!

So that’ll keep my fingers busy!

I wonder what my husband will think to me crocheting 24/7 on our honeymoon in November!

Love, Lucie xx
