Took me a while to photograph this one, and the pattern is hard to see so I have put the original pattern image down the bottom.
Pattern: Spring Thaw Shawl by Cheri McEwen
Yarn: Handspun from extremespinning's cloudy night merino bamboo top

This was probably my hardest knit so far - and I think the main reason for this was that the twistyness of my handspun made it very hard to see the emerging leaf pattern, unlike the other shawl I made with normal yarn.
I am very proud of this one though as it's the first big project I have spun the yarn for ^_^
In my worry about yarn I also cast off too tightly and it looked curly after blocking, so I ripped out the last row and cast off again - much nicer now :)

Hi everyone, here is a mobius mitts giveaway ^_^
I've been working on adding thumbs to mobius mitts. This pair was worked with thinner yarn than my usual mitts then trimmed with handspun yarn from this batt. They are size large, pictured on my size small hand (so they look a bit oversize here).

Spotted this new free crochet pattern today - thought some of you might like to see it.
Would be very easy to adapt for any size phone :)

It's been a bit of a tough week. We've both had colds and are having to go around attending house inspections. Here's something wonderful that cheers me up!
Nanette (blog|rav) has created this beautiful set of Firefly cuddlies. I love Firefly so these make me especially happy ^_^
Nanette must be a much faster crochet than I am, as this is an amazing amount of work in such a short time! Jump over to her blog to take a further look. Thanks so much for sharing these with me Nanette!
I think my favourite of the bunch is Kaylee with her butterfly top and the teddy bear patch on her pants ^_^
You can download the big and cuddly patterns from the patterns page
