I finished my latest knitting project yesterday, another Mara shawl, this time in Louisa Harding Kashmir DK. I'm glad to get it off the needles and may take a rest from knitting altogether, apart from the fortnightly Friday morning knitting group.

I now have just two WIPs on the go - my first pair of 'Posh' socks and a lacy cardigan that I started during last year's cruise. While taking a rest from knitting for a while I can concentrate on the sewing until the end of term.
