Turquoise shawl

Some time ago I wrote, that I have a plan to make all my family handmade Christmas presents. Here is the list:
Mom - Baby Alpaca shawl (done, I'll post pictures after blocking)
Aunt Ania - beige shawl
Bro - socks
Gem -
Zuzia - grey thin bolero
Grandpa - socks
Grandma - lacy scarf
Gem's side of the family:
Mom - shawl
Dad - socks
Grandpa - ?
Grandma - shawl (picts in this post)
Some of the friends:
Ula - beret ?
Kasia - bolero
Ignus - socks
I think that's all but you can never be sure. So much work to do...
But for now, today I blocked a turquoise shawl for my grandma-in law. It is very light, not so big, rather for warm days. The colour is what distinguish the shawl among others. Fabulous yarn from e-dziewiarka, needles 2.5 and here we are:

I made the pattern myself, therefore it's extremely simple ;) It was ment to be flowers on meadow. See any resemblance?

For last week or two I've been knitting like crazy. It's probably to run away from bigger things, like writing my thesis, but don't worry, I'll finally finish it :) - thesis of course...
To the point... I found this wonderful side www.ravelry.com , where people share their projects, make new friens etc. On ravelry I found a great pattern for a cardigan and that is what I've been doing last days. Pattern comes from fiubzdziuu blog (http://fiubzdziuu.blogspot.com/). Here is what I have done:

Of course I haven't forgot about my crafster swaps. Right now I signed for tea swap (I love tea, I can drink liters of it) and lately, I received packages from earring swap. Two pairs I like the most:

My mom is an extraordinary person. When I was 9 or 10 I learned how to knit and first think I made was a scarf for my mom. It wasn't looking any good, was very simple and didn't come out straigth ;) But my mom have been wearing it for a long time so I would feel that it meant something to her.
Now when I can knit better I decided to make her a proper and beautiful scarf. I found the pattern on ravelry and I started to craft:
