This was really suppose to be done for the start of autumn. Ahem!
Not sure what happened there.
However, since winter is still hanging around in these parts,
I have had many opportunities to enjoy this knit
Found the pattern and yarn on a trip to Victoria, BC last year.
The pattern is Silk Alpaca Babushka. It is suppose to have a ruffle added all the way around the bottom edge. After much thought, and the consent of my daughters. I opted for the simple clean lines of no ruffle. It is so the right choice for me!
The yarn is Misti Alpaca Hand Paint Sock Yarn. A great yarn that wears really well. Comfy and cozy!
The result is a shawl that I love to wear. And thanks to my daughter, the new resident photog.

ohhh lovely! This yarn perfectly shows off your beautiful blues!
Glad you opted out for the ruffle.
Oh I LOVE that blue, it's like my favorite color in the world - makes me think of sky and ocean - none of which I can see here. I shoveled snow for two hours on the driveway this morning. It was so heavy I can hardly move now....and I am finishing homework. Sigh! Apparently the Island is supposed to have rain all week next week so no blue sky there either. I wish it was nicer there, I love going to the Island when the sun is out, but it does have that sad, forlorn look in the mist :)
Hey, you! Love those colors! I'm glad you're having a chance to wear a hand-knit--but it's hard to be glad about more cold weather now that it's spring. It is spring, right?
it is beautiful and you look perfectly captivating in it~
Looks fabulous on you! And you look fabulous...what wrinkles are you talking about?
Awesome shawl. and you look beautiful in it.
