LOvely - how on earth do you find time to knit with your wee one and all the other stuff you do?
I've been knitting my friend a jacket for her baby for about 3 months now. Well done.

I envy you your patience. I only have the patience to knit gloves. Tried to knit a vest once, lost interest. I may try and knit a pair of socks. Congratulations. I love shawls. Ros

That pattern was very easy just a two row pattern repeat, I choice it because of baby brain i thought i would get .

It basical k1, kfb, knit to middle but 2, kfb, k1, kfb, then k to 2 before the end ,kfb, k1
Next row k all the way

Cast of at desired length
with that you increase so gettting the triangle for a shawl

must admit it's not my pattern i got it from http://otterwise.blogspot.com/2008/09/shawl-for-faye-free-knitting-pattern.html via Ravelry http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fayes-cozy-shawl

On knitting with a baby, Tam take him equally during the day (he home at the moment) and I am not going outside to the garden even though am dying to tidy the garden (it's too tireing for me at the moment). I have also discovered that if i wrap Robin up in a blanket he'll lay quietly or even sleep on me while i knit with my feet up as I find it unwinding and i relax, And i can also deal with Robin if he need attention. I also have a mosses basket that i put him in too.

hehe, mum bought some cotton for me when she last came up but do you think i can find it now. I have a facecloth planned but need the yarn frist lol.

I have also started on attempting to make a pattern for a jumpery thing for Robin
