Shawl and Scraps
Warm!
The knit-along mystery shawl from Isolde on Ravelry is getting so big, it is hard to show the pattern repeats, but I like what I see as it emerges! The Hittys are resigned to it not being a doll-size shawl and are happy to cuddle up in the cosy knitting.
Cosiness
Meanwhile the textile scraps have been metamorphosing into petticoats…
Pretty and functional
…and aprons…
Sleepytime
…and nightgowns.
The scraps of cloth used to be a human-sized nightgown! The Quimper Hitty human has been hoping her nightgown would wear out, but alas it seems to be very well made. She found these large scraps being offered up as cleaning rags, and rescued several of them for Hitty delectation!

Your shawl is looking beautiful, and so are the delectable scraps that have been so beautifully transformed! Well done!
We are glad to have the means to satisfy the Hittys without shredding my nightgown, and hope the shawl continues to grow delightfully and with not too many more rows of unpicking!.
Lucky Hittys to be able to wear the scraps!!
I was lucky to spot the scraps, and the Hittys are lucky to wear them!
You have transformed those “scraps” into lovely wardrobe items. That shawl is going to be wonderful…it already is. I also have a LL Bean nightgown that seems to be indestructible!! I have noticed the Hittys eyeing it but so far it is all mine!!
Luckily for my nightgown, I found the scraps before I succumbed to temptation! Don’t let Horrid Hetty near the scissors drawer!
Beautiful as always…and delightful to see the Hittys using luscious red and white scraps in such useful ways.
Patience is particularly smitten with her nightgown!
That scarf is turning out to be a beauty for a lucky human. Even if the girls cannot wear it, they sure are helping with it. Glad some of the scrap pieces could be used for hitty clothing instead of rags. Another lovely print on the fabric.
I do love that fabric, and appreciate it especially because of the design that is woven into it. The Hittys are always very encouraging and appreciative, no matter what project I am working on!
The shawl is coming along nicely and looks like it is going to be wonderful to wear. Loving all the items of clothing that the Hittys are getting from that gorgeous fabric..
My knitting is getting better! I knit with the yarn in my left hand, the way my Swedish Aunt taught me. Some times where the yarn seems like it is in the wrong place, like when turning short rows, but all in all I think it is going to be a very nice shawl!
