Blue Shetland Wool Shawl ......................

Well just finished my latest project - for the brain dead .......seeing as my brain seems to have gone mushy on me - like the snow outside - soft, grey and mushy !!
Now I know there is a brain in there - sloshing about as had enough MRI scans to show there are a few of Poirot's famous 'ikkle grey cells' lurking in there ............it is just they are not working at the moment - on post Christmas/New Years strike methinks .............

So been crocheting this shawl .....dead easy pattern to follow ....but I changed the border (now scallops with picots) and added an inner edge to firm up the edges, why you may ask .......... cos thats the way I like it. Now its photographed wish made the border deeper - to frame the lace effect ............ ooh well next time

Here it is on my kitchen door

heres it little tail end

and heres the scallopy border with a picot

You can find the pattern on the Lion Brand site - and its called ' South Bay Shawlette'

Now to wash it - to remove the oils and the yarn will fluff up and colour will be softer

The green scarf I made has now beenw ashed and now drying - will post pics when thast dry - all fluffy now :-)

Meanwhile outside ...........snow still on all the fields .....but tis soft n slushy snow - the main roads seem clear  well what I can see outside our house! It will be a slow melt ............. and skies been grey n grim all day .. so I tried to clean the bathroom - as cant see outside in there ... didn't get very far as it take me soooooo long to do anyhting - but I did tidy up storage box of soaps n bath stuff ... but that took me ALL afternoon but something achieved.........

I try to do something no matter how small each day - despite the M.E. !!

I will not let it beat me .....but now I need to go lie down ......... groan as so very tired
