Knitting

A friend decided to knit a copy of the ever famous shawl that Kate wore for some reason.  I don't follow royal fashion, but this was cute and doable and was a way to support a friend as she slogged on through the ruffles that never end.  My friend is doing the ruffle all the way around, but I only did it on the triangle point sides. 

I started this on July 4th and it was small and manageable to have at the BBQ and kept my hands busy so they weren't shoving food into my face.  I finished it on the 16th and it's currently blocking - just a soft blocking this time, no stretching, no pins.  I will try and get modeled shots this coming weekend.

  5. That's really cute. I especially like the larger version, the pink one. Is there a pattern available? We expect to see you model it in your undies as on the website.

  6. I think the ruffles only around the points was a good decision. The color is really pretty. And it kept you from overstuffing your face? Bonus!

  7. What a lovely shawl you have as a bonus for being nice to a friend! I hope the friend knows the precious gift she received, too.

  8. Interestingly enough, I am making this shawl next! Did you use the Cambridge pattern? I never thought to omit the ruffles on the inside edges like you did. Very cute!
