Your wedding shawl turned out beautifully, and wow great progress on your Battenberg. I can’t believe it’s going to be finished in the not too distant future. As always, Lachlan is the cutest ❤

[@martamitchelldesigns]

Thank you Emma - recommend the pattern! I'll be lost when the Battenberg is finished, it's been epic! xx

The Princess Frog Wrap is beautiful!! You must have looked amazing at the wedding Marta! 🧡🧡🧡

[@martamitchelldesigns]

That's very sweet of you Catherine, thank you! xx

Gosh, your shawl is beautiful. Your Battenburg blanket is going to be finished soon, at this rate. Lachlan has grown very quickly. I love his colour.

[@martamitchelldesigns]

Thank you so much Rosemary! Lachlann has grown up so fast, I can't believe it!

[@sunbirdcrochet]

Oooooh… your Princess Frog Wrap is a looker! ❤❤❤

[@martamitchelldesigns]

Cheers Claudia!

That is a beautiful yarn with a beautiful design! Good eye to pair the two.

[@martamitchelldesigns]

Thanks, I think so too!

[@oldmomma56]

I am a huge fan of Battenberg blankets, but I am so unable to muscle through that many squares! You have my admiration! So beautiful! I am in awe!

[@martamitchelldesigns]

Thank you so much!

Great to see your wip progress. Absolutely love your shawl.
Working on a cherry tomato!

[@martamitchelldesigns]

Thanks Gwen, I'm chuffed with how it turned out! How is your tomato?

Your blanket is coming along quickly and lovely & Lauchlan is growing FAST! I’ve cast on another Rikke Hat! ❤

[@martamitchelldesigns]

Thanks Jay, good to see progress as I podcast! Lachlann has grown up so quickly, too quickly! love the sound of your cast on, look forward to seeing it.

[@anitawessels3932]

Watching your podcast and making squares.

[@martamitchelldesigns]

Lovely! Good to have you stitching along with me!

I’ve used whirls a lot, and they all have, what we call in Australia, a fuzz buzz where the colours change. They are a strong join, and have never in my experience, come apart. They also generally just blend in with your work, sometimes needing just a little tidy up. The shawl is beautiful.

[@martamitchelldesigns]

Thanks for sharing your experience with whirls - good to have another opinion! Glad you like my finished shawl :)

[@felinesewblessed1218]

I have plans for a Battenburg blanket as well, one of these days. Your orange shawl is beautiful! Love the project bag too! Adorable pup 🐕

[@martamitchelldesigns]

Thanks for your lovely comment. Definitely recommend the Battenberg Blanket - I'm loving it!

[@oldmomma56]

That sock doesn’t look like vanilla to me! Looks more mint to me! LOL!

[@martamitchelldesigns]

Hee hee! Couldn't resist mixing things up!
