I'll keep this one about crafting in the House Cup and then (dependant on available time) I'll do another one about a 'plan' which I started tdoay.
Last post I posted about my progress through my Advanced Studies projects (OWL & Order Mission). I ended up finishing both of them but a heap of hours were involved. I'm really pleased with how they came out though.
First up, my Order Mission.
I've worn the cardigan a couple of times already and it's so lovely and light (and warm at the same time)! The matching hat works well also (and fits even better than the cardi)
I did end up using the doily pattern I was considering but it ended up about 3cm wider than I wanted it for the table I wanted it for. I decided to remake it in the hope that I could downsize it a tad (more on that later)
And now... for my completed OWL.
As mentioned, there were four parts in this particular project. Somehow I managed to finish each and every one of them. I did find the spare ball of yarn I mentioned looking for and so had plenty to finish. It's good that I did so as otherwise I'd possibly have had to request to omit one of the last repeats of the shawl to ensure I had enough (and yes possibly it would have been approved but there's no guarantees so I decided not to take the chance)
And here are the pretties.
One shawl (I've got other unfinished shawls to be done but after managing to complete this I may contemplate doing another in the future)
One completed coat
And a completed blanket and pair of socks
I don't want this post to become overly long so I'm going to close off here and start another for the other projects I completed in February & March
