I now know who my International Scarf Swap partner is, I have finally decided to knit the swallowtail shawl from Interweave Knits Fall 2006 , I knitted this for myself in November , I used a 50% cashmere 50% silk which gave the shawl a lovely heavy drape , I am knitting the scarf swap in pale blue cashmere fingering weight , I hope that she likes it.

My wee tiny sock swap arrived today , it was knitted by Dotty at yarn floozies.blog.spot.com , it is so beautiful , it makes me laugh every time I look at it .

The monkey sock swap is going along great, I have just turned the heel on the second sock, but I am going to lay that aside for a day and start on the shawl , just for a rest from the size 2mm needles that I am using. I have ordered a Knit Picks Options set , I can't wait to try them , once the shawl gets bigger I will transfer it onto them , I have been using Denise circulars but find that the stitches don't move too easily along the cables , I am hoping that the Options will be better.
One day I will find out how to load photos onto the blog . . . . . .
