Shetland Garden Faroese Shawl
Designed by Sivia Harding
Started July 2 (?)
Completed knitting July 29th
Yarn – Rowan True 4 ply Botany Nettle
Well, its all done but for the blocking – and I am thrilled! Was most worried about running out of yarn – and JUST made it (the yarn has been discontinued forever!) Not that hard a knit mainly keeping track of which chart when – at one point I had three pages with markers on my “knitting stand” (a music stand) by the sofa (my knitting spot). You have to knit many of the charts in reverse which took a bit to get used to – but was fine as I didn’t really want to rewrite those charts.
Once our humid weather goes away – hopefully Wed – I can block and finish.

That shawl is so beautiful. I hope the humidity breaks soon so you can block it up!

Ooohh, I just L00VE Faroese shawls!
I have my fingers crossed that I will one day work up enough courage to knit one.
Congratulations on your finishing!
Blocking is the very end of the downhill slide to the end.
Happy knitting,
Janey
