Wow, Friday already! This week's flown by. My Finished object this week is Emma Fassio's Rosa's Caponcho. It was a total dream to knit. I used King Cole Riot Chunky in the Seashore colour way which gave me really pretty stripes and knitted up very quickly. I dropped a needle size from what the pattern called for so it would be a good size for my almost 4 yr old, Ruby. She loves it :)

The Perfect Poncho

Wet Weekend
and I have also managed a few rounds of the Sabine cardigan that's been a bit neglected of late.
This week I finished reading Afterwards by Rosamund Lupton, an incredible book. I wasn't too sure about it initially because of the perspective it's told from but by the end I had laughed and cried, which is what a good story is all about right? I've now begun reading The Woman Before Me by Ruth Dugdall, it's a fascinating story which I'm really enjoying.

Smiley Friday
I like Fridays, they feel like a coming together of family for the weekend. With this weekend being an extra long one it's an extra smiley Friday.
My FO this week got completed a few days ago. it was a Pickles Tunic for my smallest little girl Holly. It was lovely to knit, came together really quickly and I got to use some buttons from my button stash which I rarely seem to need to reach for with all the socks and shawls I've been knitting recently.
Check out Tami's Amis for more FO.

Feeling Blue
I rarely use blue yarn, I tend to be pulled towards warm colours, reds and oranges especially but I spend quite a bit of time in jeans and so have a fairly 'blue' wardrobe. I have chosen 'denim' as the colour way anyhow, so it'll be 'matchy' with lots of my clothes.
Just a quick add on because I have recently discovered the Yarn Along with Ginny and I really want to take part. I'm currently reading Afterwards by Rosamund Lupton, it's completely intriguing, I can't wait to find out how it ends.

My first Knitalong
Well the Stripe Study Shawl KAL was a first for me in many ways, my first knitalong, my first stripes, by far the longest rows I've knitted but it's finished, and I've really enjoyed it.
I've learned loads, how to switch colours properly, how to wrap and turn and how to not bind off a shawl ;)
I just voted for the pattern for the next KAL over at Crafts from the Cwtch. I'm really looking forward to it.

Full Hands
My WiP Wednesday project this week is a Pickles Vest which I started last night for my littlest girl Holly. It's on my new Addi-Click Lace needles which I'm loving.
