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

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

That’s a gorgeous pattern and those two colours together look great on you. A kaki green and autumn rust colour compliment your complexion.
Do you use fancy shawl pins? There are some really fancy clips for shawls these days.

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.

Same here, Ruth. Once I had dropped a stitch, it was all over. So much easier to pull the crochet loose back to your error and correct it.
I really admire accomplished knitters.

@Treacle Glory...Glory. There's knitters, and crocheters. Your pieces are beautiful!!!!!!
I knit and crochet as well, but i will admit i haven't done that in a while. Also do cross stitch, and most all handwork, and sew.
Nothing better than what we can make by hand. @CinnamonSugar Love the basket weave and the color and yarn, looks great.
@Keesha I've seen those pins before, but didn't know what they were for. Super idea.

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.

Never seen those before they're lovely. Some of the metal ones remind me of hat pins???

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.

Looks good, like the colour. Is Donegal a chunky wool?
She must have been a good woman.
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.
My sister in law made me some hats with a hole in the back for my hair bun since It’s so big and would get in the way. They fit so well and I was thrilled to get them.
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.
Despite trying many times to learn to knit, I simply cannot manage it for some reason. I personally think knitting is more delicate looking than crochet. I've crocheted hundreds of items, and find it relaxing. Have done a lot of needlework as well.
Love the baby shawls - they're absolutely beautiful.

Once I had looked closely and realized that, myself,
I'd assumed you'd done it on purpose, in order to show the close-up of the stitch patterns....
which it does very nicely, and I enjoyed seeing both of the pics of that same baby shawl!

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.
