A new shade for the M2M

I just finished knitting up this custom order, using the alpaca mix yarn which i usually use in these sweaters, http://www.etsy.com/listing/59792044/brown-alpaca-blend-tweed-cardigan-size but for this M2M I've double knitted the yarn, (knitting two strands together) which basically makes the yarn chunkier, and so the garment becomes chunky

and wow another comfy sweater is born. I think an oatmeal version will be added to my to-do list.

YEAH summer/spring is here

So to celebrate, I knitted up the last of this pink cotton yarn into a loose weave shrug. It's a one of a kind in this shade, but I do have some very pale pink still to knit up

In other news, during my shopping trip last week, I purchased my first piece of make-up in some 20 years, I didn't hold back and went for a dramatic red lipstick, I've been wearing it every day whilst knitting in my PJ's shocking mr iLE AiYE and my son with my over the top 'red lips', today I braved myself, and wore it outside, I can't tell you how odd it feels to have stuff on my lips, :)

but I do kind of like it.
