Good golly it's garter.


The Thanksgiving shawl from Elegant Ewe is finally finished. It was actually not that long of a knit, I just didn't work on it very consistently. Cast on November of 2007.
I did choose the optional beaded border but not for all the way around. Cold glass beads around the neck? I think not. The optional short row shaping around the shoulders really does make it stay on the shoulders very nicely. The photos make it look as though it is really quite large, but I am short waisted. On a normally proportioned biped it would hit just about the top of the hip.
Yarn = Bare (not quite 3 skeins) with my own dye job.
