Making Monday: New Starts
I’ve been poorly again this week. Catching a cold is a dubious business and I spent last night bundled up in blankets and still shivering and cold. Better today after sleep and paracetamol but I still feel a bit ghastly. It is just the kind of time to knit socks. They are dark and not quite what I normally knit but were the first yarn I grabbed.
Inspired by Lorraine, I thought I’d have a go at making a Dover Castle Shawl. A little digging round the stash came up with some lovely Honorwood Flocks Kid Mohair. I’ve no idea about the yardage but the nice thing about the Dover Castle is you can make a smaller shawlette if you don’t have a lot of yarn. I am hoping that I’ll be able to make something decent.
The benefit of these socks is that Sirius can go incognito if necessary

Hope you are feeling better with each day! I love your sock model, and the shawl looks like it will be so beautiful when done!

Love the socks, love the shawl! Though I migh have to start one of those, too. Looks like a lovely pattern.
