No longer a mystery

The Mystery Shawl 3 from Goddess Knits.

Knitted in yarn that I got from the Swedish ladies at Harrogate last year.









It ended up larger than I thought... perhaps it's my blocking that's doing it.....

And I will not be posting another completed shawl next week !!!




And I remembered some more 4 ply !!
I blame Alice Starmore for this, I got her Tudor Roses book ages ago and keep on meaning to make things from it but never quite manage it!!





Might not be around for a while got to go up to Liverpool.
Sleep well Uncle Harry, now at peace

Cheeky Question...

Someone asked me if I have any oddments of 4 Ply.
In answer to her question, there might be a bit of 4 ply in my stash....

This is the size of the largest 'cakes'
about 250g

This part of my stash fills three tuff crates...

For those that don't know it is Colinette original 4 ply pure wool - they were getting rid of it and it was a bargain... and I probably have more than most people ever did....



The purples, and blues and a bit of natural...

Not being a red girl I only have one lot of really bright red & yellow...

Above was taken from the left hand side, just by the cat who didn't want to move...

And then there is some coned green/grey mixture, enough to make several garments I think !!

A cone of more tasteful red and a couple of brown.

The rest are the smaller oddment sized balls (apart from the violent pink/purple mix at the front right)





And then the earthy mix - greens, browns, orange...

As you can see I haven't got that much in plain colours but more than enough to try some fair isle.

I admit that there is some more but that has a reason for being (and might become one of these -pdf file) I've just got to work out how long the stripes are and how to join it all together....



So in answer to the cheeky question - yes I have so a little bit of oddments of 4 ply.

The approximate weight of the stash - would be about 13 kg, (2 stone sounds worse...)

Think I better get knitting....
