Nurmilintu #4

This time the shawl is large, warm and comfy.
The yarn is hand spun and dyed Cormo sport weight.
I used size 8 needles. 
Right off the needles, it would have been useable.  It was large enough to make a good shawl. 
But the magic of blocking firmly opens up the stitches and makes a shawl with drape which is much more comfortable and attractive.  I have used up all my Cormo now.  I like making a dent in the stash!

SOME MORE BABY HATS

I added to the baby hat pile and even changed up the pattern with the finer yarn.  The one on the far left is really a pink;  I worked on it...
