First we have Speedway socks (pattern sent to be by Adele in the Hogwarts Sock Kit swap a few months ago) in Regia Kaffe Fassett sock yarn. Beautifully modelled by a roll of kitchen towel! The pattern is very much like a jaywalker, but has a little bit of ribbing to make them stretchier. A perfect combination.
Sarah also sent me a skein of Eva 2ply from Posh Yarn in the Tinkerbell colourway.
I have been itching to cast on some lace, so when I saw the Swallowtail shawl KAL on the Posh Yarn Ravelry group I had to cast on. Here is the progress made on Saturday.
I'm a bit further on than this now, with 8 out of 14 repeats of the budding lace pattern completed. I wonder how much I can get done this week? I've got the pattern memorised and am finding it quite a relaxing knit.
Here is a close up of the beautiful colours.
Thank you Sarah for such fab yarn...

Loving the lace in that colour - just enough variegation, and irregular enough, to be perfect.
And swallowtail's such fun!
I love those socks. The pattern and colours really work well together.
The colourways in that lace are amazing - can't wait to see the finished shawl!
Gorgeousness, all that lace and the lovely yarn. :)
This is SO not fair - you are getting so much lush stuff at the moment! Loving everything in this post, you lucky girl!
