Violet


We interrupt our Breakfast at Tiffany's coverage to bring you this late breaking news...

After three Summers of working on this shawl, I have finally reached the last color in the spectrum...


I can see the end of the rainbow.


It's just going to take 40 more hours of knitting before I actually reach it.

We'll return to our regularly scheduled programming next post.

    Isn't it just wonderful to reach this point on a big project! For me, that's when a project consumes me in the drive to get it completed! Have fun with it!

    The yarn is Tahki Cotton Classics. The original in Vogue magazine was knit in Cashmere. That would have made the shawl $500! I think cotton looks so much nicer, don't you?

    Love those colors. It is amazing how many hours go into a project, more than we realize most of the time.

    Lovely work as usual. It inspires me to keep working on my crocheted sampler spread.

    This is one of my favourite projects that you are working on - the colours are so happy.

It's always a happy day when I see that you've stopped by and left a note. Thanks for taking the time to send me your beautiful thoughts. I try to comment back when life isn't too hectic and when Blogger has your email.

Have a wonder-filled life!
