I thought I would make another of these lovely shawls, but I didn't realize so soon. This one was made for my mother's birthday, it ended up being a bit late (don't so many knit gifts) but she says she likes it. Mom, want to send me a picture of you wearing it?
I used Austermann Barkarole doubled to knit this. What a lovely, lovely soft yarn. It's a wool, silk, cashmere blend so I guess that would explain it. This was a stashbuster and it feels nice to have such nice yarn out of the stash and into a usable garment.
I thought I would show you some of the projects hanging around that I need to finish up. Most of these just need buttons, isn't that pathetic!
Cashmere Neckwarmer in Handmaiden Cashmere.
And lastly, lots of seaming on the secret project. Kaelen, behave!!
Love the Shetland Triangle!! The other sneak peeks look good as well! Look forward to seeing them finished ;)

It is beautiful. The color reminds me of the sea.

Lots of unfinished projects...just like home. Procrastination must be a family trait. Haven't had occasion to wear my new scarf yet, but it won't be long because the furnace has been kicking in. Thought I should write and let you know that your Dad is looking for a manly scarf to keep his neck, chest and face warm on the bike. It probably wouldn't be used this year but could be appreciated for the next biking season. Arlis

Beautiful shawl, Areli. Is there a Button Button store in New Brunswick?

Love the Shetland Triangle! Wool silk cashmere blend... I bet it's soft and has the prettiest sheen. It's beautiful.
