Christmas Gifting

Well its that time of the year again....
Have you worked out all that you would like to make for your loved ones in preparation for Christmas? Over the next few weeks I will be sharing a few ideas just in case you haven't quite made the decision yet.




First up is a beautiful Drops Shawl worked in their new yarn Melody, it takes just 2 balls of yarn to create this and as it is knitted on 10mm needles it works up really fast.
But it gets better -  as the Melody is part of the Drops Alpaca Party Sale there is 25% off at the moment, which means that you can make this for under £5! Bargain!
Although Melody looks like a Mohair yarn, it is a fluffy blend of Alpaca, Wool and Polyamide, so soft and lightweight Check out the website to see which colour you could like to use or pop into the shop and pick up a couple of balls today.
Below is a picture of my finished version, if you do go into the shop you will see a ball of yarn on top of the mannequin, that is the remains of the second ball, so it could easily be made larger.

I would love to see what you are working for Christmas presents, leave me a message or post a picture.
Until next time, happy crafting
