My first 'Finished-Object Friday'

Another first for me this week, 'Finished-Object Friday' with Tami's Amis.
I saw the Stitch Sampler Shawl pattern a while ago and thought it looked really pretty as well as being not too complicated to knit. I was however put off by the looooong rows so didn't start it until a few weeks ago. I needn't have worried, it was lovely to knit, came together really quickly and was fab for snuggling under while finishing the last few rows. I did have to wait for more yarn to arrive as the 6 skeins called for in the pattern weren't enough for me, but I got it finished this week and I'm really happy with it.


  I have another project in the pipeline which I'm hoping to cast on later today. More info on that soon.

    Love the colors. Can't really see in the picture how big it is, but it sure looks snuggly.

    Ooooh - I made the same shawl in the same colourway - it's fab. This winter I actually sewed the ends together and made it into a massive cowl :)

    Hi there! I missed your first WIP Wednesday post, but I'm glad to see a new face with Tamis Amis- it's a great way to find new blogs, gain readers, and make friends. Thank you for linking to the pattern- your shawl looks great! I've seen the yarn in the shops, but this is the first time I've seen anything actually made from it. Very nice color changes ^_^
    Okay I wrote a paragraph! sorry ;)

    Looks like a very soft and lofty yarn - I bet that shawl feels light as a wisp but is still snuggly warm!
