Holiday Knitting

I'm just back from 2 weeks in the DR. Two weeks of sunshine and no obligations -- and knitting whenever I wanted!

I have a couple of projects still on the needles, but have one new one finished, and blocking .... it's taking a while to dry.

It's Ethereal Triangular Shawl by Lakshmi Juneja. It's a free pattern on Ravelry, knit with ColourMart Chasmere/Cotton 3/15 NM shiny cotton yarn (love this yarn, it's gorgeous to knit with!)

I also have After Hours shawl on the needles - knitting it in Zauberball in teal and black. And Firebird in a delightful mohair yarn with a gold metallic thread that I found on Elann.com. Photos when I've made some more progress.

And I left my Antonia by Birgit Freyer at home because it simply needs its edging, and I wanted to be sure I wouldn't run out of projects while I was away. It's in Colourmart Cash/Cotton shiny cotton too - only it's in Lapis Lazul. The other is in the colourway Granate. I did say I love the feel of knitting with this yarn!
