The surprise was finished

It started as this .........


Here is a not very flattering photo of me knitting it ..... I ought to have rearranged my face lol .....


And here it is finished ....


Yes it t's another jumper, number 4. The surprise was that my granddaughter didn't know I was knitting it for her.  She is pleased because it is sparkly. That's teenagers for you !

I was going well with the Lacey shawl, I had started on the edging strip but when I checked the side pieces I found a mistake that couldn't be fixed at the blocking stage so had to rip it back ....... I guess that's knitting ......... 

Nothing much else to say only that my printer has decided it doesn't want to print yellow so it looks as though a new one is on the horizon.

Please leave comments so I know I'm not here on my own.

The Lacey shawl......

Was going well. Middle and nearly two side pieces finished when I had to do this ......

Grrrrr...... A couple of escaped stitches caused mayhem......... A few hours later and back to this ....

As of now I only have a couple more rows to knit then I can cast off the second side but before I cast on for the third side I have to finish the surprise. I have to finish it this week ...... Anybody have any tips for making more hours in the day???
