Knitted Shawl

Hi
Sorry I haven't been blogging lately. I just have been soo busy.  I am working on my blanket made of squares and have eventually got them all joined together, doing some work for the Ni Machine Knitters Guild as I am now the secretary, decorating the hall, fixing the turquoise jacket I have blogged about earlier as I did not like the button band and handknitting a shawl for my boss who retires tomorrow.  Here is the finished item. I hope she likes it.




It is the first shawl I have ever knit.  I bought the wool in a sale while on holiday.  It is Sirdar Duet and the pattern is from Knitting in no time by Melody Griffiths.  Well, it took me some time - about 2 months although the book said 24 hrs.  Thinking about it, this is probably about right as I only knit about 30 mins each night!
