Thank you for all the lovely comments about Paris and I'm glad I could share a little bit of the trip with you. What's in the WIP? Radiance Shawl - not quite blocked but nearly! Aislinn by Amy Herzog - I'm back on track and tackling the lace with calm and lots of care! I mention Kusha Kusha shawl and its influence on mindful knitting. I would love to make this one day! Lots of power knitting on a secret, last minute design to enter in the Unwind Brighton Design Competition in Kettle Yarn Co Westminster sock yarn.
