And now for something knitted

Lots of sewing has been happening lately, its just been too rainy and too busy to get decent photos outside. So here's something knitted instead.

This scarf/shawl is from the pattern Ishbel, by Ysolda Teague, gifted to me by the lovely Kat as our planned knit-along. I was a bad knitting buddy on this one as I zoomed ahead and finished while I was recovering from having 3 wisdom teeth removed. Fortunately, this project was far less painful. It starts off a bit weirdly, from the centre top, and grows outwards with 4 increases on each increase row. The end result is a very flat triangle, with lovely scallop-y edges. I think it is my favourite knitted thing to date and one I am very proud of.
