Over the summer, there was a yahoo group for a mystery shawl 3. I love the concept. here's a chart. start knitting.
next week. here's the next chart. keep knitting.
had no idea what i was making, or what it would look like. I was knitting with yarn from 2 cones of (probably) weaving yarn - pretty thin, definitely acrylic, and massively cheap from a rummage sale. I thought i'd be able to use up these cones, using the 2 strands together.
i thought wrong.
honest... i think every night, the yarn regenerated, because there's no sign that i used them at all. they're still just as full as when i started.
the shawl is pretty big - it's got to be about 6 feet long, and depending on how you spread it out, between 2 and 3 feet wide. i like it.
i like it even better draped across the shoulders of the long leather coat i bought from salvation army for a steal at $22.50!
but here's the shawl, because it makes my friend kerstin happy - she's been wanting to see it!

wow! That's amazing! That one side looks like a bird's wing...must be really pretty draped over your jacket.
yep. the theme was swan lake, and i'm not sure what the whole rest of the shawl is supposed to be, swan-wise, but that last piece is the swan's wing!
