Natalie over at The Yarn Yard has started making monday blogs. The idea is you post about things you have been making on Mondays. I would have joined in the last two but all I seemed to be making was a mess with three children at home on school holidays.
This week however I got my finger out and have been finishing my boneyard shawl, Stephen West, the designer, is a genius. He specialises in making the simple look stunning. I have been hoarding some rainbow Kauni yarn for ages and although I have planned to do lots of things with it I have never started anything with it. I have started on a Stephen West knitalong and the first clue was disappointingly small so I decided to do another one of his shawls and picked out the Boneyard and grabbed the Kauni. Well it was addictive. I couldn't put it down. The yarn is very moreish, just one more to see the next colour change....
The result is a stunning shawl in a beautiful rainbow.
I couldn't wait to show it off so here are some pictures of it pre-blocked. I have also not quite finished the picot edging I added but you can see how it will look in this picture...
What did you make today?

Hehe, my Making Mondays have mostly been making a mess too! That Boneyard looks beautiful - it is a cracking pattern isn't it? My mum liked mine so much she's decided to make on too!
Wow!!!! That shawl is beautiful and just the right pattern to show off that rainbow colour. I love it!
Today I have made glittery play dough and a birthday cake.
