Pat has a pair of socks made from this very same yarn. I think I used the last of it in this set. We don’t get much winter here but enough that a hat and scarf might be needed on some days.

When I put the shawls from yesterday away I came across two more that hadn’t been recorded.

I love how colourful this shawl is, and I also like the pattern (Seafoam Shawl). The yarn is left-over from three different pairs of socks.

I’ve used this pattern many times (Painswick Wrap). As I was using up left-over yarn it isn’t as long as the pattern indicates it should be, but it is big enough.

This is my year to attempt to use up my sock yarn. This shawl used up a substantial amount of it. I love the lacy look of it and the border finishes it off nicely.

Whenever I’m in Saskatoon Kathryn and I try to spend some time at a Michael’s store. Although it doesn’t show well in the photos there is a shiny thread that runs through the yarn. The pattern they gave to go along with the yarn was complicated and, since I was on holiday, I decided to make a simple triangular shawl.

All my knitting is done as a donation – either shawls to the Church or for the Christmas baskets from the Salvation Army – and Mum’s birthday is perfect timing so I make them in her honour.
