These are my knitting projects.

For my third knitted project, I chose Blossoms by the Brook, a knitted shawlette pattern that I found free on Ravelry (with both written and charted instructions) and I decided it was time to dive into my lovely yarn stash from my Yarnbox classic subscription. I ended up selecting the MJ Yarns, Peruvian Dream yarn

A knitted Princess Shawl and Swirl Hat for my youngest granddaughter, Hailey, for Christmas.

It all started with a hank of Malabrigo sock yarn in a colorway called Archangel.

A cowl that looks like a shawl but without all the issues of learning how to wrap it or keep it in place and a lovely lace knitted beanie made a perfect combination for my teenage granddaughters for Christmas.

All in all, the Brooke’s Columns of Leaves Scarf is a very lovely pattern – perhaps not something a beginner such as myself should have attempted – but hey, I’m an over achiever 😀 It was very well written and my only problem was that for the life of me I couldn’t figure out how to do the p2tog tbl stitch – so throughout the entire scarf I p2tog. At least I was consistent!
