April progress

I did actually finish knitting the Charlotte's Web shawl in April on the Wonderwool trip. I blocked it lightly, and am pleased that the colours blend more than I thought when I was knitting the shawl. I have learned for the next time I try colour blending that it's easier when the colours are close in tonal value, or you get a stripy effect. I also found the fearsomely expensive Koigu did have more colour complexity and blendability than the Cherry Tree Hill supersock, so is probably worth the expense for this sort of project.


I'm still working on the fringe, which always takes ages, but this is getting very close to being a FO.



I've made a small amount of progress on the possum cardigan, but it looks much the same as before.


I'm not terribly interested in the stashbusting suggestions for May on the Ravelry group, so I think I'll remain with the theme of finishing WIPs.

Knitting goals for May are therefore:

1) Finish crochet star afghan

2) Finish Evie

3) Finish felted handbag

4) Make a baby cardigan for my colleague's expected baby

5) Start an octopus washcloth for my husband

6) Finish the back of the possum cardigan

7) Finish front and back of Jolien
