Itsy Bitsy Summer Swap

For the first time since last June, I signed up to do Itsy Bitsy Summer Swap. My swap partner, as you already know was my friend Lessie - Sue in Italy. The theme of the swap was summery things beginning with the letter of your swap partners name. After much deliberating, I took the soft option to do a Shawl. I choose Pimpelliese, which was in Sue's ravelry queue. I enjoyed knitting it; the colours were lovely, I would have quite liked it myself!
So here is yours truly, modelling the shawl. The yarn is Supersocke 100 Candy Colour. I'm not sure exactly where I got it from , although I think it was given to me. The colours and the yarn fitted exactly what I wanted for this project.
The edging is integral and very pretty. The pattern can be found on ravelry. I'm not sure if it's the done thing to put a direct link here or not.
The shawl and other little goodies were well recieved. I loved the things that Sue sent to me - the shawl she did me was marvellous! I love these swaps.
I've signed up to do the small July Swap. The swap partners should be listed in just under a week or so, I'm looking forward to it. The small swaps will suit my budget, although if I can do them every month or not I don't know.
