Sound of Waves shawl finished

yesterday i finished the Sound of Waves shawl for my mother.

it feels airy and soft but also warm - like a cloud.  the perfect shawl or wrap for keeping my mother's shoulders warm as she reads in bed at night.  the yarn is one strand of Spun Silk 20/2 from Catnip Yarns held together with one strand of Habu Textiles fine merino.  

 

there were a few times when i lost my way with this shawl - you can see one of the pattern repeats is heading off in the wrong direction.  i feel bad about not doing the pattern justice in this section but my mother won't mind and i just didn't have the stamina to start this one 3 times.  

i want to thank everyone for the comments on the photographs in the last post.  i forget to talk about how beautiful it is here.  i should take more photographs of here.  perhaps in the spring. 

sometimes i do end-of-year-posts and talk about my hopes for the new year.  at the moment i feel short of words and plans.  mostly i'm happy to have made it through this year.  i'm also happy to have a few days off to catch my breath. 

my only thought for the new year and creativity is that i'd like to be more experimental this year.  

wishing you all a happy new year and many hours of inspiration and creating in the months to come.

Beautiful shawl, just right for the chilly weather.

it's beautiful. i can't see where the lace goes off in it's own direction but i'm sure we all do that at some time or another right? i forget how beautiful it is around here too and i always forget to take pictures any more. looking forward to yours in the spring because you live in a beautiful place!

I love the shawl - it photographs beautifully, and I can't see any error init either! Bet your mum loves it too.
