Update On The South Bay Shawlette Front

Quite a while ago, I embarked on a South Bay Shawlette project. Back then, I predicted it would take me a while, and I was absolutely right!

It's not even finished yet, as I'd like to add a row or two of the grey yarn to complete it. However, I have woven the ends in to be able to wear it in the last chilly days of early spring.

Here's the result so far:

The grey and turquoise yarn are the Icelandic brand Lopi, the cream one is, I think, Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran, and the variegated one is Araucania (though not sure which range anymore...). The whole thing is crocheted with a 5mm crochet hook. It has a beautiful drape and is very warm indeed.

That's it for now, and that's one for the Granny Love Challenge over at Isa Bricole, where you can see other grannyesque creations.

Thanks for reading! :)

South Bay Shawlette - I've Succumbed!

Hello! I have been very fickle with my WIPs recently, fleeting from one half finished project to the next. So no surprise again this week for Jijihook's Granny Square Challenge, as I present to you another new WIP : my attempt at the South Bay Shawlette. This pretty shawl seems to be everywhere on the crochet scene at the moment and I knew it was only a question of time before I tackled it. I've decided to use some of my beautiful Icelandic yarn. And as I plan to use mainly one colour, I am going to have to order more...

Anyhoo... here's the progress so far:

I have a feeling this one will take me a while, as I want to make it rather big so that I can snuggle up in it this winter. Making it in the summer is not going to be the most practical though, as this yarn is really really warm!

I'll be back soon, hopefully with an update on an currently existing WIP rather than a new one. ;)

Take care!
