Crafty Threads 'n' Yarns

This is my seventeenth Forst Canopy Shoulder Shawl Shocked

and it's one of my favourites. Knitted using Posh Lei Yarn, which is a Fingering / 4 ply Silk, Bamboo, Merino mix, the yarn has a lovely drape, and in spite of the odd tendency to be a little splitty, is lovely to knit with.

Tomorrow evening is my Race For Life, and the shawl is open to bidders. Bidding will close at 7:00 pm on Friday, and the winning bidder can donate straight to my Race For Life page which can be found on my blog The shawl measures 51" x 22" blocked.

You would not believe how many photos I took in order to produce these Shocked

edited because there is a limit as to how many times one can write "it's one of my favourites" in a post and also because one really should preview a post even after editing Wink

I love the shawl and the colour and I think donating this to a charity auction is a wonderful way to raise some money for a very worthwhile cause.

I'll put in a bid of 30GBP if I may
