Heather shawl

I finished my granny stripes shawl :-) I'm made up with how it looks, the colours are just right for me and it's very cosy. I tried to take a photo of me wearing it, almost impossible, but after lots of shots of the side of my head, I succeeded in taking a presentable image.

 

It was a lot of crocheting once the sides started to get longer, but it was worth the work to get such a lovely finished article. I used a mixture of wools, some Sirdar Countrystyle and Bonus DK, King Cole Big Value DK and the purply-pink is from my Ebay wool from Kingcraig Fabrics. 

 

Thanks to Jenny for her comment on my last post, she said it reminded her of moorland colours and so, inspired by her idea, I've decide to call it my Heather shawl. 

I hope your weekend is full of colour and good things!

It's lovely, I really like the colours you've chosen. I love purples and greens (and turquoise too it would seem, I'm surprised how blue my blanket it turning out!)
Nice to get a little peek of you too!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, hoping we get a little more sunshine tomorrow!

Yes it looks fantastic, thanks for the credit. I still haven't learned to crochet, I was thinking today I must get round to it as I have plenty of books and downloaded instructions to teach me.
