De-stashing along is making slow progress

I am still knitting through my stash. I did however buy some yarn this week. 2ply pure baby wool to knit a baby shawl. It is coming along nicely after so many attempts to try and get 10 stitches on 3 needles without twisting. Finally success, it is really a nice knit and so much fun seeing as who it is for.

Easter we are off to The Rock to visit with friends, I love going there, too hot in summer and very cold in winter, but I just love the place. I bought some kitchen towels a long while back to make my friend some hand towels with knitted tops for her kitchen, I finally got around to making them as we will be seeing them in a couple of weeks. It only took a sunday afternoon and night of knitting to start and finish off the 4 hand towels, they look so nice. I have also done one for my kitchen with black tops, which look great in my kitchen. (no photos yet)

I finished off two WIP's, a baby jumper and baby cardigan both in thick yarn, very nice. One for a boy and one for a girl. I am cleaning up my yarn off the floor and found 6 large balls of baby yarn, 2 lemon, 2 blue variegated and 2 pink variegated, I had been looking at home for yarn to knit for babies and couldn't find any, it is amazing what you find when cleaning up things.
