During July I bought all the knitting magazines in Tesco to find the one that was easy for a beginner knitter like me. The Lets Knit! magazine was the winner and there are many patterns in it scheduled for future creation.
The shawl above is from Issue 9 and should have been knitted in a silk yarn. As I have a dustbin bag full of dreary red, brown and black unused wool (I am not in a position to buy new yarn just yet), when I discovered this multi-coloured (psychedelic bash your eyeball out) ball of wool at the bottom of the bag I knew it would do just fine....especially if worn with dark colours....a little black dress perhaps? The magazine even provided the needles. At 15 mm they are HUGE but certainly made making the shawl achievable, at my beginner speed of knitting, in three days.
I wonder if my sister in Denver would like it?
