I started Luna Moth shawl, got a couple of repeats in and decided I didn't like how it looked, so I frogged it and started a crochet shawl. I didn't like that either so I frogged that too and started on this:
That was going fine until I got to the part where I had planned to put in repeats of a different lace pattern to spice it up a bit. However that turned out to be too complex for holiday knitting, so I decided it was time to set it aside for a while.
Fortunately I had come prepared, and I had yarn and needles with me for a Revontuli (Northern Lights) Shawl. Seven days later, and here is the result:
Pretty, isn't it? This was a single ball (150g) of Kauni Effect Yarn and the finished shawl blocks out to 160cmwide by 80cm long - a nice, medium-sized shawl. The fingering-weight wool is cozy too, and it's a fairly solid knitted piece so it is lovely and warm. I'm wearing it tonight as it's very cold outside again and it gets cool in the house late at night.
And on that note, I think I'll go to bed now. I have a busy weekend ahead.
