Shawls galore! (1)

When I was still practicing for knitting the Kj shawl I made this Shetland border shawl out of the completely wrong kind of wool. I ended up just stashing it someplace but thinking I would revisit the pattern once I had more skills... and then the xmas season fell upon us!

And I have made the shawl again, this time for my lovely friend AH, who always ends up with my first tries at socks, gloves or hats but never with something I've already sort of mastered. This is a picture of a detail of the shawl:



And this is a picture of it being blocked in my living room carpet:





And of me, modeling it before packing and shipping it off to Sweden! Here's to hoping it gets to its owner before she goes home for the holidays (and that she likes the shawl!)
