    • FO: Byatt Shawl

      Posted at 1:40 pm by Meg Jones, on October 12, 2018

      My Byatt has been completed since July but has been unsung on the blog since. Partially because it’s a tricky one to photo – the wingspan on mine is at least 2m (which made blocking fun) and also because it has been mostly living around my neck as we settle into the unsettled temperatures of Autumn in the UK.

      But no longer! I have taken some photos and it is getting its FO post before it goes back round my neck in the arctic wasteland that is my office right now.

      Knitted in an entire skein of lovely squishy Stranded Dyeworks Merino Nylon (formerly Oasis) as the MC (plus a smidgen of Debonnaire Shimmer Sock, kindly donated as an emergency yarn transplant by knitting friend J, as I played and lost yarn chicken/stuffed up the increases at some point) and Truly Hooked Sparkly Sock for the CC. The Stranded Dyework’s was purchased at a pop at YAK on LYS Day 2017 and the Truly Hooked was a Yarndale 2017 purchase. Both would be purchased again.

      I’ve knitted a lot of Karie’s shawls and I always enjoy them – they’ve always got something that keeps me hooked into the knitting and the shaping on this one is a nice change from the usual triangle. I even didn’t mind the garter stitch.

      This was also my Good Intention’s Quarter 3 project, over in the KnitBritish Ravelry group. I shall post more about my Good Intentions Projects at a later date but I do believe it will be running again, which is great news. I definitely have to knit from stash next year, what with shortly to be possessing a mortgage. *shocked face emoji*

      Tiny @thecornerofcraft advent jumper round up day 16 - 20: (clockwise) Ulitharid, Nilbog, Shape Water, Moloch and Death Lock.
      A few pictures from a lovely, quiet birthday yesterday. Walk by the Adur and around a graveyard with @oswena99 and P, a brownie from @bakedworthing, snoozy cat time and then a @hawksmoorrestaurants meal box for dinner (and breakfast this morning!). Lots of family calls and some very thoughtful presents. 🥰
      @thecornerofcraft Advent Tiny jumper round up day 11-15. Clockwise: Good Berry, Astral Projection, Pond in the Feywild, Abominable Gingerbread Man and Winter Sprite. 😍😍 I need to start turning them into bunting!
      Early Christmas present for t’hb - finally got this painting properly framed (by the smashing @aotframing!) - the painting it’s based on is a Rubens portrait of Kaspar Scioppius and this one was painted by Alexander Davenport. We won it in a raffle a couple years ago (I wasn’t enchanted at the time but Kaspar has grown on me since.) and t’hb was thrilled with his prize.
      Mincepies, new and entirely ridiculous Christmas Sloth mug and stitch markers purchased from @thecornerofcraft. Hooray!
      Next set of tiny jumpers using the yarn from the @thecornerofcraft’s advent calendar. Day 6 - 10, clockwise: Critmas Kobolt, Merry Critmas, Umberlee’s Wave, Mastermind Rogue and Faerie Dragon.
