6 feet of glorious pink ropes and ladders scarf

started a new project the Swallowtail Shawl..for my Mum. It is her 80th comming up and I wanted to knit her something. I've never knitted lace before and it wasn't east at the beginig but after some good advice from my knitting buddies on Ravelry I progresed.
I've finished a few other projects but haven't been able to get a good photo of them.
Went to see Coraline yesterday and it was fantastic...how perfect an animation movie that incorporates all my favorite things, a bit of creepiness, a bit of sewing, buttons, dolls and stop motion oh and 3d glasses. How cool!!

cramming in some knitting time

Now that the bunny's have taken off I only have my nights to cram in a bit of knitting.

I spotted this striped shawl at Interweaveknits and thought Yum I like that!

Its called Candy Striped Kerchief. I've knitted just over a meter in length and started the decreases. Fast, fun and not too much to concentrate on. What more could a midnight knitter want?

Already I can see myself knitting this in purple and green or orange and purple...or red and white........

A few weeks ago whilst in Ravelry in my Tim Burton knitting group I spotted an add for Jaquelyn Landry's Burtonesques needless to say 1 second later I had the the pattern downloaded and printed!

I've my eye on the Letterman and Zeebad , but for now I've enough on my plate!

The Burtonesque's are not for mindless knitting as you have to do a bit of counting!

I've only used a cheap wool as i couldn't find a nice wool in the right colours...at spotlight:(

I chose to knit it in pencil grey colours....F and 2B!!
