That’s a gorgeous pattern and those two colours together look great on you. A kaki green and autumn rust colour compliment your complexion.View attachment 109181
I am pretty much a small project knitter. I this is a basket weave (started as a scarf but morphed into a shawl ) made of earthy Irish Donegal wool. I like to find the stitch that matches the yarn

Do you use fancy shawl pins? There are some really fancy clips for shawls these days.
Started knitting when I was very young with round lolly sticks and string (the make do and mend era) !! My grandmother raised me and she was a brilliant knitter.That’s beautiful work Treacle. How long does it take you to do something like this and do you follow a pattern? How long have you been knitting for?
Never seen those before they're lovely. Some of the metal ones remind me of hat pins???Shawl pins . There’s an entire selection of them and fun things to make. These aren’t mine but I’ve made some. They’re pretty cute. I’d wear shawls just to wear these. Lol.

Oops attached a wrong file so there are 2 of the same - I can knit but not sure I can use technology !!!!!Lovely baby shawls...I especially like numbers 1 and 2, which after enlargement,
seem to be the same one!
Love that basket weave stitch also, and you are right, it goes well for that wool, @CinnamonSugar
Thank youBeautiful work Treacle...
Always follow a pattern and I think about a month for each one. Been knitting since I was young. My grandmother was always knitting. Thank you for your kind words.That’s beautiful work Treacle.

Looks good, like the colour. Is Donegal a chunky wool?View attachment 109181

I agree and believe they are interchangeable. They are a nice added piece of class & elegance.Never seen those before they're lovely. Some of the metal ones remind me of hat pins???
My pleasure. While I never knit or crocheted much, my mother knit quite a bit and my in-laws are amazing at crocheting. I’ve got many items gifted me over the years that have been made for me. My mother in law especially was very good.Always follow a pattern and I think about a month for each one. Been knitting since I was young. My grandmother was always knitting. Thank you for your kind words.
Thats me minus the crocheting good part. I could do neither well. If I made a mistake I was unable to detect it until a few rows of stitches were done so my projects became tedious to say the least but I’ve always had great appreciation for other people’s skills. The turtle is adorable. I’ve made a few similar things with my scroll saw and lathe.CinnamonSugar your knitting projects are beautiful. I can crochet better than knit. I never could correct my mistakes when knitting and there were many. lol
Keesha I never heard of a shawl pin and especially like the turtle.

Your shawls are so intricate. Beautiful work!More shawls. Running out of patterns and once I've achieved the pattern I get bored repeating it. I think I like the challenge. Still have a couple of new patterns so occupied for a while.
Thanks Pinky. Keeps me out of troubleYour shawls are so intricate. Beautiful work!
