…is finished!
…and that makes me *very* happy.
This shawl is all garter stitch – I never thought I’d actually miss purling.
Hopefully, we’ll have a couple more days if chilly weather so I can wear it at least once before putting it away until the Fall.
Project Details:
Pattern: Aestlight Shawl
Yarn: Malabrigo Sock in Botticelli Red
Needles: Size 6 Knitpicks Options
What’s up next? Bags. Bags, bags and more bags. I feel like the guy on the Dunkin Donuts commercials, I keep wandering in and out of the sewing room muttering, “it’s time to make the baaaags.”
Why all the crazy sewing and muttering? I’m vending on Saturday, here, along with a bunch of my friends who make fibery stuff (Tina has a list here). If you are within driving distance, maybe you’ll stop by? It’s a wonderful show, right on the Hudson with gorgeous views of the river.
If you do stop by, please say hello! I love to meet blog readers in person – and please tell me who you are because I’m kind of an idiot when it comes to putting faces to names. ;o)
Okay, time to make the bags!

Gorgeous shawl! Have fun in NY. I’ll hopefully be at CT S&W taking in the wooly fumes. :-)
VERY pretty! I really love the color. I think that there is something to be said for garter stitch every once in a whle.

I hadn’t been bitten by the Aestlight bug until now. Yours really is beautiful!
ohh, what a pretty shawl, you really did a great job. I just started my Aestlight :)
I LOVE IT! Beautiful color!
I admit that I may be woefully unprepared for this event on Saturday. Why I decided a fiber festival during my last 3 weeks of school was a good idea is beyond me!
In any case, I will see you there:)
This is so beautiful! It makes me want to knit one right now, but the wip pile is being politely insistent at the moment.

Beautiful shawl. Looks like there are going to be shawl wearing days for a bit.
Hooray for the selling!
