New Shawl

Am so pleased I've finally finished this shawl, I started it in September when we were on holiday in Spain & it's taken me far too long, kept going off the boil with it, but needed to get it finished for January as it's going to be my exhibition piece for The WOW Exhibition at Rheged in Penrith from mid Jan - mid April.

So am really relieved to have it finished. It's knitted in 2ply merino & has about 2,000 pink glass beads knitted into it. I'd knitted it to go with a green & pink dress I'd bought at the beginning of the year in Spain! So got there eventually.

I'm calling the shawl "Spun in Magic, Wishes Come True", they're lyrics from a Frank Sinatra song called "My Shawl"



Pinned out blocking.
