cherry red tie-one-on

My cherry tie-one-on shawl turned out nicely!

It's light and warm, was fun to knit and didn't take very long. What more can you ask for! I got the pattern from knitty.com and adapted it seriously as the yarn I used was completely different.

The sequen strips don't show up very well but they are surprisingly soft and non-scratchy.

Hannah modelled it on the condition that I cut off her face - so I did.

tangled mess

I've just joined Ravelry which looks like fun.
Maybe I can get some help - in fact this is a YARN EMERGENCY.
I bought a skein of beautiful silk and merino, planning to knit a lacey shawl. David kindly offered his arms to hold the yarn while I wound - but DISASTER!
He says I wound too quickly - maybe - anyway he dropped it and we just went from bad to worse.

What was "Mulberry Crush" is now "Mulberry Mess".
Any suggestions for what to do? (other than put it in the bin).
