The reason I stopped is because it was coming...

What Maya Knits - two shawls
Well, at the rate that I'm posting the 'Maya Knits' posts there is a danger you might think that this is a yarn shop owner that never knits, but I do, honestly, I do. It is just that I do have an issue with - and I'll admit it - I do have an issue with finishing off. I simply... -

This was a relatively straight forward process, but had to be done from Canada and required an uncertain amount of time away from my new home in England and my partner. Before I left Maya suggested... -
