Early Morning Knitting

I absolutely love getting up early before anyone else is up and spending some uninterrupted time knitting. 

Today I spent an hour of bliss working on my Vouvray shawl. It's a beautifully big shawl with a slipped stitch pattern designed by the incredibly talented Melanie Berg. 

I'm using cascade 220 super wash in black & storm blue. Being a worsted weight shawl it has certainly felt different then the sock weight yarn shawls I usually make - but I'm loving it!!!

Here's a little progress picture:-

The colours are proving difficult to capture correctly in this light- the contrast colour way is much more a light greyish blue.

Hue Shift Colours

I've been working pretty much consistently on my Hue Shift Afghan and I am loving it!

It is being knit using Stylecraft Special DK yarn which is an acrylic yarn that is incredibly soft and extremely cost effective - perfect for blankets. I've used this yarn before to crochet and loved it but wasn't sure what it would be like to knit with. But it is great!!!

I used it in the crocheted Coast Ripple designed by Lucy of Attic 24 I made my Dad for his birthday. He loved it.

Knitting with it is proving to be equally as wonderful.

This afghan has a tremendous amount of ends to weave in. I had planned to deal with them as I went along but really find myself wanting to just keep making the next colour combination.

You can see an example of my ends in this photom:-

They're pretty bad aren't they? Oh well I'll face that challenge when I've finished knitting all the squares.
