November slipped away from me.  I have been busy with lots of little things, and it seems I continue to forget to stop and take pictures.

Here is a shawl I finished for myself.  The edges are a pattern called ostrich feather lace and the middle stitch is called ravelling leaves.  I found the stitches in Vogue Knitting Stitchionary, volume one knit & purl.  It’s knitted in my favorite malabrigo kettle dyed pure Merino worsted wool.  The color is pearl ten. 

With this shawl, I was able to do some blocking.  I sprayed the shawl with water and stretched it out and pinned it onto my bedroom floor.  I was amazed with all the extra length I found when I stretched it.  It took less than a day to dry.  It’s beyond cozy.
