Done(ish)

Here is the second and last 'contrasting drape' to give it its proper title. Done already. This means the vintage thing is done apart from sewing in the ends and the robust blocking. Not sure when that will be done as I need to borrow or buy some blocking wires, but I was given some training a couple of weeks ago at knitting how to do this. Hopefully it will not be long before I do this then it can be removed from the real corner by the sofa!
Ps. I have a  new project on the go - more of that next time.

A Small Ta-Dah

Here it is the Vintage 'Thing' - done. Well I say done, it still needs to have the ends stitched in and needs 'robust' blocking which I am yet to discover - robust or otherwise. I did have a setback with it recently in that I did some 'negative' or 'minus' knitting of it - i.e. I took it to  knitting group a couple of weeks ago, knitted a row and then spent the remainder of the 2 hours unpicking, and then carrying on unpicking for another 2 evenings at home!
But this morning whilst having a  relaxing time with friends sitting in our conservatory I finished it.
Just got  to block it and knit the brown scarf to go with it now. Hopefully it could be June's finished project. Or would it be April's given that nothing was finished in April or May? :-(
