A very nice semi circular shawl. I ran out of yarn so it's a bit shorter than suggested. I used Piropo yarn and a size H hook.

I had good intentions to knit this shawl larger and to use up every inch of yarn but as always, I got tired of working on it. Mara is a free pattern. I used size 9 needles and Caron One Pound - Country Rose. |

I've started crocheting Cassandra, a Lily Go pattern.
The knitted Mara edging is slowly growing, the suggested depth is 4 inches but I'm going to try to use up all the yarn so we'll have to see if it'll be shorter or longer. I'm not usually a two in-progress project person so this is interesting to me to have something unfinished and another one started.

Getting ready to decoupage jars to use with tea light candles.
I finally reached the edging portion of Mara. The stitches on the needles have doubled and I may have to add another cable. If there is a next time, I'm going to eliminate the increases at the point. |

I'm a slow knitter and although this project is mostly garter stitch with a few yarn overs, I haven't made much progress in the past two days. Since this will be the third time I've made the pattern I know that I'll run out of knitting cable space by the time I reach the edging of the shawl. So I brought out my two Boye needlemaster sets and started linking the cables together. These needles were my first interchangeable needles way back in the '80s and I used them for every knitting project. Today there are so many choices of interchangeable needles sets available and I own a few of them however, I usually find myself going back to the original Boye needlemaster.

Mara shawl #3 is on the needles. I love this pattern because it always turns out nice and it's free. I'm using size 9 needles and Caron One Pound - Country Rose. |

Free pattern from Lion Brand - South Bay Shawlette. Size J hook - Caron One Pound - Iris. Added one more set of rows. The One Pound yarn is stiff so a larger hook would make the shawlette more open and drape nicer. |

Love the Simply Soft - Autumn Red. I think it's very apropos for the month of Love...February.
