On the go

Life is hectic at present but in a good way - I'm enjoying the build up to the launch date of a new project at work whilst trying to keep the old one still functioning.

My knitting is in a similar state. I've been tinkering around with small projects whilst trying to work on some of the larger ones that are on the go.

So for light relief I bring you a Little Owl vest - one of the spin off patterns from a hot Ravelry favourite...

The yarn is by Biggan and is First Cross merino DK - a yarn I'm enjoying knitting with and have more in my stash. Trying to photograph the purple was nearly impossible!

Also new onto the needles is another Ravelry favourite - The Milkweed Shawl - early days so far but good commuter knitting

Finally, because I started new projects I found the missing Zauberball and have reunited it with my Clapotis. There'll be lots of motorway travelling this weekend so hopefully you will soon see a finished item.

That brings me to a dilemma - how much knitting, what type etc do I need for a week in Devon? I'm visiting family and friends, the Sidmouth Folk Festival and planning to see some more National Trust places. I think I need easy knitting for the travelling and something more complex for the evenings - suggestions anyone?

As much knitting as possible?!

How about the Ulmus shawl, another shawl that I've come across several times recently.
With the right combination of yarns it's beautiful.
