…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!
Beautiful!

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.

aestlight… is finished…. And is BEAUTIFUL!!!!

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.

I love the color of that shawl. Very pretty! Good luck with the vending.
Beautiful shawl. Looks like there are going to be shawl wearing days for a bit.
Hooray for the selling!

Oh wow. that shawl is lovely. ::runs off to add to queueueueueue::
