I spent most of my knitting time yesterday working on my shawl.
My goodness how I love Icelandic wools. I love how they cling. I had to sort out a bit of a miscount 4 stitches from the edge and those 4 stitches kept falling off the needle they sat on while I was doing the repair. They just sat, orderly, tidily waiting till I picked them up as I worked and yanked the repair some rows below. It is a really great yarn.
I am past the first lace motif and am just starting the second motif and have started tge section where the colours change, which in a lot of ways, is the real magic of this shawl.
The softly changing colours available in the natural shades of this wool is everything that caught my eye a long time ago. It took time to assemble the book and the yarn and then to find the time to settle in and knit it. I am so happy that now is the time.
