A516 in Kingfisher Mohair

No sooner have I finished my first shawl in a while than I am on with the next one using some brightly coloured vintage Mohair yarn in shade Kingfisher.  I love the colour of this.

This is the second of a newish design, the first one being done April 2019 and its a simple pattern but really pretty.  I decided to make a simple crochet flower brooch with some of the leftover yarn and this will be supplied with the shawl when it finally makes it to my shop.

B517 - A new design full of diamonds and purls...

My youngest went back to school on 7th September and my eldest started her 'A' Level Maths along with her specialised course that is the equivalent of 3 'A' Levels at her chosen place of further education on 16th September and I wasted no time in getting on and getting back to being creative.

To begin with, I kicked off with some lovely bulky soft 55% Cotton/45% Acrylic yarn from Rowan.  I think I need something that will work up quickly and provide me with new stuff to add to my shop as quickly as possible.

I chose a new design, that means one that I've not made before not one that is newly published, and as I realised that I was running out yarn I had to leave one row off the end and I still had a very panicky game of yarn chicken and you can see in the photo below that I had less than 6 inches left as I done the final cast off stitch.  

And now for the final product photos...
