There's a Storm comin'
I squeaked out a quick little project inbetween my socks and my Ishbel.
I just had to. I ripped out my socks 3 times and Ishbel once. I wanted instant gratification and I got it with this
Specs:
Pattern: Storm Cloude Shawlette - Hanna Breetz
Yarn: Berraco Ultra Alpaca - 1 skein of purple
Needles: US 10
Mods: I started running out of yarn so I ended the shawl after 70 or 71 rows. I would have liked to have a ruffle, but no yarn left. Well... that isn't entirely true. I think I may have enough to make a little tie for this.
I can't believe how quick this was! I started it Saturday and finished it up Sunday. I would have had it done Saturday, but I had things to do.
Special thanks to the husband for the photo's. He actually made me look thinner!
Love this pattern!

Nice shawl! And wow, kudos to the photographer. Not that I think you need to look thinner, but I know it's way way important that we feel that way!
