My Pressed Flowers Shawl is done!

I used The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers Juicy DK in Penny (MC) and Fancy Dance’n (CC); purchased from my LYS, The Knitting Loft.

I can’t say enough good things about this project. From the colors of the yarn to the stitch pattern, knitting it was therapeutic and soothing. I love the hints of speckles that emerge every time a flower is completed.

I ended up getting a new needle with the longest cord possible – 60″ – just so I can lay the shawl out and admire it in all its glory! The photo above was taken just before I started binding off. If I were to knit this again, I would add a couple of inches of garter border in the main color. I saw several shawls with that mod and I love how it looks. My concern was the shawl would be too big for me after blocking.

Ryan took me to see Cirque Du Soleil, Kurious for Mother’s Day and we took some photos after the show:
