I’ve been furiously knitting my Oaklet Shawl, the yarn is so fine though that it feels like it’s taking forever. I am enjoying this knit tremendously, the colourway is lovely and I only have 6 more pattern repeats until I start the border of the shawl, so it isn’t far to go now. The knitters over at my cowl test knit suggested a KAL for people knitting Mamma4earth patterns, so if you are knitting any Mamma4earth animal or flower patterns, you are welcome to pop overĀ there and join the converstaion:) I got a lovely surprise this morning, my neighbour sent a huge pumpkin over as an Autumn gift, isn’t it wonderful!!
I am reading Wuthering Heights again and enjoying it…
PS Natalie over at Marigold’s Loft is giving away an entire set of Knit Pro needles, the winner will be chosen tomorrow, so don’t wait to enter! And if you would like to knit a Shamrock for St Patrick’s day I have a pattern here for you.
Happy Yarn Along to you.

A pumpkin, how lovely. Love the colours in your shawl.
Linda, the colorway is beautiful! So weird to me to see you gearing up for Autumn as we are gearing up for Spring… Gets me every time!
The shawl is knitting up so lovely. I’m also knitting on a project that seems to be taking WAY longer than it should š
The colour way is beautiful! I am not a big fan of fine wool, but the result looks so great it is hard to resist!
I love pumpkins. I just love them. Not sure why they charm me so. The pumpkin that just decided to grow in my yard is still, four months after I freed it from the vine, sitting in my front hall, hale and hearty. Shape, color – everything. A great pumpkin is an excellent present.
