The Hap is finished and I had 1 yard of yarn left!
Phew that was close..
It's currently soaking so that I can attempt to block it later today and there will be photos when I find the camera which is still hiding from me!
Although this project seems to have gone on for ages it's partly due to me playing with other projects. I think the knitting would have been easier if I had knitted one side panel at a time but then I would not have got the effect of this wonderful yarn. It has been a real pleasure using the Kauni as I love the feel and smell of wool. The Hap shawl is a simple sturdy shawl and that is what I have - Matt reckons it will do double duty as a picnic rug!
The knitting has been fairly mindless and as such has been quite soothing. I'm already missing it on the needles and am resisting the urge to dig out Rowan 42 and start on Sharon Miller's new variation!
Posted by Yvonne at August 26, 2007 07:35 PMIs that the Brighton hap shawl? If so I agree with Matt in that he can't have it as you might need it for thermal insulation at Glasgow!
Posted by: Fred at August 28, 2007 09:15 PMBet that made you knit really fast at the end. Can't wait to see it all blocked and pretty, now where did you last have the camera?
Posted by: yvette at August 27, 2007 02:47 PMTell Matt he cant have it for a rug !!
Looking forward to seeing it in it's finished glory...the camera has got to be somewhere near the top....
Well done Yvonne, I can't wait to see it blocked the yarn is such a beautiful red colour!
