Better late than never

I haven't posted for ages and will probably be too late for the June Small SAL as it is already July but will try to do better next month. Of late I have been holding more knitting needles than sewing needles in my hand but at least something did (almost completely) get finished. Random Thoughts by The Drawn Thread just needs the charms to be sewn on. I didn't like a couple of the stitched areas and because I wanted to change them it had been sitting in the UFO drawer for far too long but eventually made the top of the priority list and I am glad that I changed the areas that I was not happy with.
I have enjoyed knitting the two small shawls and they are being well used with so many cold days lately.  Small shawls seem so popular and I keep finding more of these patterns which I would like to knit.  The other knitting has been the baby shoes and boots. They have been selling so well at the shop and I keep getting asked to knit more.   All good fun.

Oh great, you finished Random Thoughts. It seems you do not intend to stitch the borders and I think that is not necesaary as it is looking great also without them. And such wonderful knitted pieces.

Thank you for the comments. Brigitte I decided not to stitch the borders as I rather liked it without them. The original piece is shown with bell pull ends and the borders did add a rather nice finish but I will eventually have it framed
