I’ve had this gorgeous Mohair in my stash for a while,it was ideal to make this little wrap which measures approximately 40cm by 80cm, but is very soft and stretchy.

Storm Cloud Shawlette
For this shawlette, I used Wendy Happy Yarn in the Taurus colourway, it’s bamboo with a little bit of nylon, very soft and lovely to knit with.
The pattern is from Ever Green Knits.
Brick Facecloth
Another facecloth for Chris, why buy them when I can knit one! This one was made in Sirdar Spree Marshmallow using the Brick Stitch Pattern, details of which I’ve included below the picture. Chris has a thing about bricks, it’s rare that we walk past a building without him commenting on whether it’s Flemish Bond or some other exotic style! And yes there is some pink, Chris likes pink, but not as much as he likes bricks!!
I cast on 40 stitches and knit 40 rows with the following pattern:
Brick Stitch
Multiple of 8
Rows 1 and 3: * P6, k2 *
Rows 2 and 4: * P2, k6 *
Rows 5 and 7: K2, * p2, k6 *, p2, k4
Rows 6 and 8: P4, * k2, p6 *, k2, p2

I-cords
If you fancy a change from the usual knitted I-cord, why not try a crocheted one . I don’t know why I didn’t think of this technique as an alternative to knitting. Maybe because I haven’t crocheted for a while.
Excuse me while I have a senior moment 
Tutti Frutti Clutch Bag
This bag is fully lined and finished off with two olive wood buttons. It measures 23cm by 17cm and would also be ideal for a make-up bag.
Woodland Moss Felted Mini Bag
This little bag is made from Twilleys Freedom Spirit 100% wool and hand felted. It measures 17cm by 9cm, the handle is 26cm long (folded).
