Knitted Shawl


Knitted shawl

During the Christmas holidays, when the family was gathered
at home, I did'nt have the opportunity to go to my seewing machine,
because I spent most of my time in the kitchen! But whenever I had some
free time, I was knitting, as I cannot sit down without having a work  
in my hands, and I did this "moutarde" (as we call in French) shawl.

Knitted shawl

I used two yarns : an alpaga wool and a thin mohair together.

I like those two colors together, they are
warm to look at.
