On a Mission????

I have been relatively busy these last few days with my knitting..... I was going to post a photo the other day on the progress of the tank (yawn.....) but as I didn't get the chance... I can now post one of the front completed Yeahhhhhhhh. As HelenM commented anything after lace seems well a bit boring & tedious really.....

Anyway the front is finished and I am relatively pleased with it... to me the neckline seems lower than on the photo, but as always I shall reserve judgment until finished..... I am now beginning to wonder how long it's going to take me to knit the neck and armhole bands. Mmmmmm.....

I've also finished a pair of socks too, with which I am well pleased.... I love this pattern and is the 3rd time I have knit it and there will definitely be a 4th & probably a 5th as DH has a ball in various shades of grey & black waiting and I am going to treat myself to the grey & pink version, hopefully.....

Anyway these are for a dear friend's father....

• Lana Grossa Meetings 7770


• 2.5mm Bamboo DPN's

Anyway I have saved the best definitely to last!!!!! A lovely customer/friend went to New Zealand and returned this week with this for me.....

The photo really doesn't do it justice at all... It's a hank (50g / 440m) of Touch Yarns 2ply Wool & Mohair Lace yarn it's so beautiful I just keeps looking at it and touching it.... I thought I was going to have a tough time deciding what to make with it but I decided I think it's destined to become Swallowtail Shawl

What do you think? Any other suggestions?

As I still have a week to Easter I am off to rumage through my stash to find a small project that I can complete in a week to get me to my Easter deadline...
