A stitching up date and a knitting ta-dah

I hope those in the UK have been making the most of the beautiful Bank Holiday weather?
Such a lovely day.  I have had a rare opportunity to spend the whole day and evening by myself as Mark had to go into work and Stevie was out too.  Once my few chores were out of the way this morning I sat and stitched, no interruptions, it was lovely :-)

At the end of July I said that I was going to give one project a week my undivided attention, well it didn't quite work out that way, and that's ok because the first week I concentrated on the shawl I had started for my mums birthday, and got it finished, yaaaaaay, and even better than that, I gave it to her yesterday and she loves it, double yaaaaay.

This is the When in Rome shawl, a Drops design which can be found on Ravelry and the Drops site.
The pattern is free.

So for the next week I thought I would work on Elizabeth, one of the Carriage House girls.

I was amazed to see that I hadn't posted about this since May, Wow!! 
This is how she looked then


And now, after some attention



Some progress at last!

I have the inclination to carry on with her now so that Molly will have a companion before Christmas, it feels good to complete something and make great progress on another :-)

Until Next time
