The Indecisive Project

Hello there. I hope that today finds you well. It is very wet here, in fact it has not stopped pouring down since I got up. Not good weather for taking pics!

So, what have I been up to? Well despite being run ragged by the girls over the summer I did manage to get a few things done. You may remember this post back in June when I had bought the softest of merino wool but didn't really have a plan for it. For most of the project I had no plan whatsoever, I just kept going and hoped that something would come to me. It got to a good cushion size but I decided to carry on, it got to floor cushion size and still I carried on. I considered making it into a footstool cover but then decided to carry on. 

It eventually became a cross between a shawl and a throw. I can wrap it around me to keep out the cold, it can be used a throw on a chair or as a lovely, soft lap blanket. I did warn you that I can be indecisive! Anyway here it is, the shawl/throw....











The yarn is so soft and snuggly. I'm hoping it will keep me toasty warm around the house this winter.

I'm currently making over a few bits of furniture. Some I think will be more successful than others. I will take some pics as soon as the light improves.

Take care.
