    About

    6 months ago I caught Whooping Cough (as an adult, yes!) and was confined to the couch for a frustratingly long time. Knitting stopped me from going mad, kept me calm and allowed me to get well - it also gave me something to DO so I felt I had still achieved something in my sickbed! The merino for this project was oh so soft and gentle in my fingers; the colour was a tweedy mix of my favourite calming forest green; the pattern and yarn had been bought on holiday, reminding me of the life I had once had! Above all this was my first attempt at knitting from a lace chart, one simple enough for my poorly, sleep-deprived brain to handle, and to see it emerge successfully was a little triumph! Even better was being able to wear it finished! It is soft and cozy and kept me warm in my recovery. Now that I'm better and allowed out of the house (finally!) its adaptability means it can be worn as a straightforward shawl or as a 'Strangler Fig' scarf. I couldn't be more pleased at the use of time!

        It's not mine to sell (I wish!!) - it comes from the magazine KnitScene. Link to buy the pattern online is here http://www.interweave.com/store/oscilloscope-shawl but the version I used was from the book 'Best of KnitScene', found in a discount bookshop! Best buy yet! Glad you like it, happy knitting.
