Knitting: Brooch
When you need to look good at the barricades, here is the essential accessory. Release your inner Enjolras, or change the colours to suit your country, your team or your cause.

Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This is a warm shawl with a lovely deep textured stitch pattern. It has an interesting construction, knitted from one short edge of the triangle up to the point. Three different edgings are used, with a pretty looped selvedge to allow enough ease at the top edge. It reminded me of Victorian plaid shawls - you can add a fringe if you wish.
