Work continues on my next engine piece - a companion to Engine 21 - but not much to see at the moment. Here are a couple of pictures showing progress on the background stitching.

January Making
It is always good to have some knitting on the go in the winter, so far I have made this shawl from some odd balls from my stash using this pattern http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mistaken-shawl
and one sock.

Socks are a great project to have on hand, portable and quickly finished. Once you have mastered a basic pattern, you can adapt it endlessly. I have uploaded my favourite version to my new Patterns and Tutorials page so everyone can enoy it.

While the machine is running, I have time to ponder what the next piece of work will be. My next exhibition is in October at Sidcot School with Gordano Textile Artists and the theme is Echoes.

I could just wrap myself in that lovely shawl and settle down to be lazy with a good book! You might be glad of it before long according to the forecast. I wish I could wear socks but they are always too tight for my horrible legs.
Good luck with Engine 2 - I'm sure it will be a fitting companion to the first one and I look forward to seeing it when completed.
The shawl looks so warm and cuddly, love it!
I agree your shawl looks cosy. Could do with some of those socks too. Knitting is definately very relaxing. Looking forward to seeing more of the engines series.
I haven't looked at your blog for a while Jane and was just blown away by the incredible engine pictures. I love the idea of drawing with stitch on a stitched background. Your knitting looks lovely and I'm sure it is relaxing too. I love knitting socks too and always have a pair on my needles.
