'Della Robbia Wreath' Swap Shawl


My glorious swap gift...


...with yummy, fringy details.


Knitted leaves and dyed locks...


...and 'spun-in' flower accents.


So many kinds of fibers were used in making this hand-spun yarn...


...and look at the cunning little knitted fruits!


You'll notice that it's in all of my favorite Fall colors...


...and each time I wear it, I continue to discover new kinds of fibers and little knitted surprises! :)


My sweet friend Melissa and I arranged a swap together...

...and this is the amazing shawl that she made for me!

It's WILD and colorful and full of various textures and fibers...

...and I continue to discover new surprises each time that I examine it!

This scarf reminds me of a Della Robbia Christmas wreath...

...chock-full of knitted seed pods, fruits and leaves!!!

I know that this project was a long and complicated undertaking...

...and I am so grateful to Melissa for this delicious gift!!
