That’s me, right there, someone who forgets a whole knitting project. You’d think that with as few things as I finish, I’d remember to put them up here.
This is the Hawk Affection Shawl.
Sorry about the no-makeup-photo-in-the-mirror thing. It’s all I’ve got today.
Project Details:
Pattern: Color Affection, my second one.
Yarn: Hazel Knits Divine, this is 75% merino, 15% cashmere, and 10% silk. It really is divinely soft and squishy. The colors are Nekkid, Hawkeye, and Collegiate, chosen to represent my favorite football team.
Needles: 3.5 mm
Started: September 3, 2015
Finished: February 10, 2016
For: Me
Modifications: None, really. I once again knit the three color stripe section until I had used all the stitches up with the short row section.
What I Learned: I love simple knits. And I am really starting to love simple knit things that wind around my neck for a touch of color and warmth. And I learned that I probably should take a moment to put on makeup and do something with that mess of hair before I do a photo shoot. I got off the bike, took a shower, and my hair just did that thing up there. Oh well.
I see nothing wrong with that photo. You are as nature made you — perfect!
So pretty – you’ve now made two of these and I still need to make my first!
I thought the photo looked nice – of course, you should see me when I let my hair just dry. Kinda looks like damaged corn silk … 😉
The shawl is gorgeous, as is the ‘model’! I’m with you on simple knitting projects lately. Good pattern, nice yarn = a win, win! Think I’ll have to make one in my New York Giant colors for next season.
By the way, what are the kind of blocking blocks that I see in your photo that you use?
You are beautiful, as is your new shawl! Congrats and enjoy. xoxo
Beautiful: model and modeled.
That is just such a striking knit! Congrats on getting it done.
And since I last work makeup more than a decade ago… 😉
Lovely – and the shawl too!
Both you and the shawl look great 🙂
Happy belated blogoversary. As others have said, the shawl and its wearer are beautiful. 🙂
