Wrapped and modeled by my daughter, L.
In all of its winged glory.
Close up detail.
My friend, Mary, and I arranged a 'mystery swap' recently...
...where we sent each other color and item preferences...
...and then just tried to wow each other!
I have to say that she sure did her part, as I am IN LOVE with my new shawl...
...and with the breezy week we just had, I've worn it many a morn (har) as I catch up with friends on the Internet.
She made it in the most exquisite shade of cooked pumpkin...
...in a blend of 70% wool and 30% silk...
...so it's really soft and warm!!
For you knitters who might want more details (where to find the free pattern, yarn brand and colourway, etc.)...
...check out Mary's post about it here.
Thanks again, Mary!! I love it!!!!

That shawl is absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to see it in person!
Nice shade of pumpkin!!! I don't think I need to check - that's the Summer Flies pattern, I'm pretty certain.
Excellent job!
It is super beautiful...and on my knitting bucket list. Enjoy!
Very nice gift indeed! You might actually start looking forward to cool weather with all of these shawls you have been getting! :)
Thanks, Leann!
Denise--You knitters AMAZE me! I guess it's like some women with couture purses...they know one when they see one! :)

The knit shawl is absolutely gorgeous. I so love the color of it too, a very warm pumpkin color. I know it will see a lot of wear and enjoyment in the months and years to come. It could not have found a better home. :) Wear in good health, always.
Thanks, Sandie! XXO-
