I have been getting some knitting done this winter, so it’s time to show you a few things.

First is a shawl in Kauni Effektgarn. The pattern is a free one from Knitty.com, called Bitterroot by Rosemary Hill.

You can see that I had a hard time finding a big enough space to photograph it. As it was, I had to stand on a chair – and there’s junk in the corners. Photography isn’t my best trick! Here’s a detail shot of the centre tip:This shawl was a surprisingly quick knit – or maybe it was just too addictive to put down! I did add beads, as specified by the pattern. The beads are silver, so they hide (especially in the pictures) but they catch the light in a starry kind of way. I like how the outside edge is just barely black. That was a nice coincidence with the colour changes.

My Ravelry project page is here.

I’m really happy with this one, and just might have to knit another…
