New knitting stuff

So I've been AWOL again - but working hard, meeting up with friends & family and enjoying the nice weather by doing some gardening.

Heres some pictures of what I've been knitting

My first shawl from the Easyknits ltd edition Sushi roll shawl-alongs is finished and blocked and ready to wear. It has turned out surprisingly well despite my lack of knitting experience

I've also been working on the next one - the winter berry shawl and I just cast on the Woodland shawl (which is a free pattern from Ravelry) using some yummy Manos Lace which I bought at iKnit a few weekends ago.

I also did manage to get my iPhone 4 on the release date. I was up at 5.40am, on the bus and into town an hour later and at 8.30am I was the proud owner of the little beauty. I must say despite all the bad press it has received I have had no problems with mine and I love it even more than I thought I would (if thats possible) I am sad that people are having problems with theirs but I think the media have gone a bit overboard with slating Apple the way they have.   So heres something for them
