When we left on Friday, I knew it was going to be a mad dash to finish my shawl in time for the wedding on Saturday. My daughter took the wheel for a bit so I could knit on the road. Friday night at dinner I was still knitting, but I finished the last row before we contemplated dessert. After dinner amidst a little pre-wedding party, I worked the bind off.
And before I went to bed, I blocked the shawl. All in a day's work.
As usual the weather was cool and damp in Downeast Maine. I was concerned about the drying conditions, so I used the fan for a few hours.
By mid-afternoon on Saturday, the shawl was ready.
Pure Joy. This design is mostly garter with short row shaping. Add color combinations and you have a recipe for fun, relaxed knitting. If I didn't have other pressing projects, I'd cast on another one right away.
The yarn is Lillian Luxe, colorways March Sky and Bee Hive. There's nothing like a little silk for a special occasion.
And it was a special occasion.
From the setting to the ceremony to the party . . . a lovely, heartwarming celebration.
