Traveling woman

Almost exactly a year ago I started to knit this shawl.

The yarn is from the Dutch Round Robin, which I participated in once.


The colour immediately brought the recipient to mind, as she dresses in this colour almost always. - Actually, she dresses in black, with either purple or red accessories. I wish I had my dressing down like that sometimes.

The humble beginnings:


The pattern is Traveling woman,
by Liz Abinante.



Sometime in April I made another picture of it, but was not really speeding forward ;-)
I think it was a {This moment} shot.


I loved the pattern, it was very easy to memorize - and to remember - when I picked up the shawl after a long rest. The tiny needles got to me, I could not really see the progress....


Finally I finished the shawl yesterday, and because I will meet the recipient tomorrow, it's blocking now.


Yeah, I will weave in the ends. There are lots and lots actually, it is a handspun yarn, and very poorly so sadly. Never in my live I had so many breaks in one skein.
The things one does for a colour..........



I hope she likes it!
