Showcasing my recent FOs

I'm rounding of my 12 weeks of summer holidays by finishing a lot of WIPs - knitting time will soon be severely limited when university starts again on September 1.

The first FO I'll show you is my first Ravelympics2008 finish: ta-da-da-daaa: The Adamas Shawl (lovely pattern - go knit it right away!) in 2 skeins of Posh Yarn Sophia 2 ply (100% cashmere) - soft and beautiful. 175 cm wide and 85 cm long. Link to my Ravelry post here
Secondly my new incREDibly red sweater! Woohoo! The pattern is called Roman Candle and it's featured in Runway Knits by Berta Karapetyan (pattern here on Ravelry). The basketweave pattern includes a .... lot of cables, but once I got the hang of it, it was quite alright and a nice knit. It's knitted in Hifa2 (100% wool) - bought at an incredibly low price far out in the Danish countryside (Grønhøj Garnlager, for you Danes...). I'm sure this red sweater with my favourite turtleneck will keep me warm and happy this winter. Link to my post on Ravelry here.


Finally, a sneak peek on something I'll be publishing as a free pattern soon:--------------
