FO Friday: Good news, bad news

The good news: I have a Finished Object this week!
The bad news: I can't show it to you yet. 
Here's a peek...
YARN: Patons FAB DK in Rainbow colourway
NEEDLES: 4mm
This isn't my usual type of yarn as I'm not a fan of acrylic, but I love the colours and having used it before, I can report that it washes and tumble dries beautifully so I thought it would be perfect for a little (low-maintenance) gift for someone. Hopefully it will have been delivered next week and will be able to show you, because I'm quite fond of it (and have a few requests to make more!). 

In the meantime, here is a little photo collage of the Stripe Study Shawl Knitalong photos already posted on Instagram. If you're joining in and would like to add your pictures to the Instagram gallery, just tag them with #sssknitalong. 
If you're feeling inspired to join us, you can find all the details here
You can find more finished objects and inspiration at FO Friday and Creative Friday.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend, 
Sarah

  1. Love the collage - it's so cool seeing everyone else's versions of the shawl - although it does make me want to cast on more!

    I'm intrigued by the secret project - I'm too nosy for mysteries ;)

  3. The shawl is fun, but I'm starting a new project: my "Vive la France" socks. Just to cheer up my finished-project-focused-mind a bit. As you mentioned it, the rows are getting longer and longer and seem neverending ....

  12. Lovely colours - I think I used that yarn for something once and discovered it looks *far* nicer knitted than it does crocheted ;)
