So how did I get on with the Yak Shaving and the Different Lines Shawl???
First the Yak Shaving – We’ve had the furniture delivered and finally put the finishing touches to our Snug – That Yak is now shaved!!
A little den to read and knit and chat in with friends…
Like it?

I’m so pleased how it has come together 😀 I’ve liked that bus picture for a long time – Especially as I work in London!
But enough of my DIY adventures, what about Different Lines??
Well she seems to go with that Denim Jacket she was intended for!

I would like to wear her over the jacket but she’s just a tiny bit too small for the tail to stay over my shoulder when I move – I think that when I make another, I’lll use slightly larger needles. My tension does seem tighter than the pattern picture. Doesn’t look bad though? (But I look so sombre!!)

And the obligatory side and back views. Love the way that lays over my shoulder…

And I do like just admiring it ( And giving me an excuse to show off my lovely rose cushion) 😉

Ziggy is so pretty. Everything is better with a kitty!
Your little Den looks lovely.
I love the pattern, Different Lines. Your colour combination is beautiful. Perfect with denim.
Love your den, and the rose cushion!
I have Colour Affection in my queue, and the yarn stashed to make two… I like Different Lines though. How did you get on with the short row shaping? In Colour Affection she says not to knit the wraps. Not sure how that would look?
I have a Ziggy look-alike sitting on my lap as I type! 😀
I love your shawl, I find myself being drawn to lots of Veera’s patterns. Ziggy obviously loves her new Mum. Flo sends her a big purr and wants to know if she’s got her own handknit blankie yet!!
That is very nice….I like the colors you chose…
The scarf looks great.
Really wonderful scarf! Looks perfectly! Good choice of color. Yes, totally great stuff. Thanks for sharing this pattern, I try to knit for myself. Well done.
