The Anniversary Shawl

June has been a month of knitting knit-alongs for me.  Two mystery shawls, and two pairs of socks.  Yes, I'm behind, but I rather expected to be.  That's a lot of knitting for me for one month!

I am close to finishing the second pair of socks, and I hope to finish the second shawl before the week's end.  Going on a road trip this weekend will give me additional knitting time.  :)

But....drum roll, please.... yesterday on my 30th wedding anniversary, I finished this blue lace shawl!  I don't even wear shawls, but I am so happy in the way this shawl turned out.  So happy, indeed, that I may just have to learn to wear shawls and be comfortable wearing them.  

The Pattern:  Wendy Knits Summer 2013 Mystery Shawl
The Yarn:  Knit Picks Shadow, lace weight, 100% Merino
Needles: size 5 (3.75 mm)
Finished Dimensions: 68" x 29"

  1. That shawl is beautiful! I'm not really a shawl person but I do wear them around my neck like you. For this one though it looks like it'll be perfect with a dress for your anniversary :)

  5. So beautiful! I like how you'r wearing it in the picture - looks more like a scarf than a shawl. I'd really like to make a shawl. Maybe one day!

    I used to be the same about wearing shawls. Once I started knitting them, I has to wear them. This beautiful shawl is indeed a reason to start wearing them. Gorgeous!
