At long last, I have started blocking some of the crap in my finished objects basket. I hesitate to even mention how long this shawl has been languishing, but maybe the shame will keep me going - so uhhh, about nine months?
...yikes.
Anyhow! I loved making this shawl, and I have a feeling that I will love wearing it. Of course, I finished it just in time for summer, so it will probably have a nice long nap during the warmer months, but once it hits 50 degrees I plan to wear the crap out of it! It's big and fluffy and very cozy, and it's a beautiful but unusual neutral. I figured the best way to style it for photos was with a Victorian-style cotton blouse by Gunne Sax, as this shawl would be right at home on the prairie on a chilly morning.
Happy Friday!
Pattern: Spruce Forest by Nancy Bush, from Wool People Vol. 2
Yarn: Brooklyn Tweed Loft, colorway Postcard
Yardage: Almost all of 3 skeins of Loft - 825 yards
