I’ve been knitting a lot lately but this is my last speed knit for a while.
I knew I wanted to knit the lovely Garden Pond shawl for my aunt for her birthday last week, but I was so busy with my Alouette that I only left myself a week to do it!
Well, I managed it JUST - I was weaving in the ends on the morning of her birthday!
I used the yarn from a blue/grey 3-ply pure merino jumper that I bought in a charity shop for £3 and unravelled ages ago. Thrifty but quality!
It was slow going, boring, and took up every evening for the whole week, but worth it I think. It’s very light but warm and will suit those chilly evenings when she goes on holiday.
From now on I’m only going to spend a normal amount of my time knitting!

That is just beautiful. What a wonderful, thoughtful gift!
