I've been popping about the country quite a bit recently, and that means time spent at airports and on the plane is extra crocheting time :-)
I've finished 3 more shawls for the Felt Shop plus two shawls and a blanket that were asked for, as well as the usual couple of dozen hearts to be hung from random trees for Valentines Day (oorrrrrrr).

I'm attempting a cardigan.
So far I've pulled it apart four times, tried 3 different patterns and now I'm winging it. It's based loosely on a pattern from my 70's Family Crochet Book, I'm saying loosely because after I'd finished the back I realised the stitch pattern was all wrong and the pattern I'm 'kind of not really' following is for a jumper not a cardi....
The yarn is lovely it's a very fine mohair and silk mix, I'm also aware that it may expand quite a bit when it's blocked so I'm really trying not to add extra stitches or it'll end up being a very holey coat for someone like Hagrid!
More flying this week, so I might get it finished by next weekend. I have high hopes :-)
I love that you crochet in planes. :-) Good luck with the cardi - looking forward to reading about it when it's finished!

Beautiful colours in the shawls - you have a real eye for great combinations :). I too look forward to seeing the finished cardigan/Hagrid jumper!!
