It's quite fun to look back at the things you loved years ago. I recently went back to my first page of etsy favourites and got quite a rush of nostalgia.

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...
