11 in 11 - two down

I've decided to take on a bit of a knitting challenge this year. I've come across a couple of groups on Ravelry where the aim is to knit 11 shawls or scarves in 2011. One #11in11 just calls for 11 pieces of neck wear while 11 shawls in 2011 has stricter rules around what constitutes a shawl and meterage.

So far I've completed two that fit both projects but I've decided to make it harder on myself. My personal challenge is to see how far I can get with my 11 with yarn that was in my stash on 1 Jan 2011.

I'll update through the year, but here are the first two - Happy Diamonds and Peacock Blue.

Happy Diamonds:  Scarf with the Open and Solid Diamond Lace Edging from Weldon's, 1904, from Victorian Lace Today by Jane Sowerby in Wendy Happy Bamboo sock yarn.

 

 

Peacock Blue: Peacock Tail and Leaf Scarf from Nancy Bush's Knitted Lace of Estonia in UK Alpaca.
