The Christmas Knitting

Above is the cloche I knit for my friend Maria. This is my first go at felting and I will definitely do more.
I designed this shawl for my mother to take along on her trip to Hawaii. This shetland lace shawl is based on the flowers which populate her garden. I used Malabrigo lace to make this piece.
 
This final project is for me. The pattern, Easy Seas by Knit/lab,  and was intended to be knit with a sport weight yarn. I, however, used a lace weight by Sweet Georgia Yarns, and altered the number of repeats to maintain width and length. A quick and easy project made with a cashmere and silk blend in a deep, rich turquoise.
