knitting neels

Here’s another one I finished a while ago. The only words that come to mind when I think about knitting it are moment of passion.

Pattern: 3/4 Hap Shawl by Veera.

Yarn: Malabrigo Sock (one skein in Lettuce) and Brown Sheep Nature Spun (one ball in purple). The Brown Sheep was deep stash, the Malabrigo Sock was a long-mulled-over purchase.

Needles: 4mm knitpicks circular.

The vast garter sections of this shawl make for highly, highly addictive knitting. I would probably recommend it to someone recovering from ‘flu or a bad dose of a cold because it is wonderfully mindless and as you progress, it gets bigger and keeps you warm!

It was one of those impulse projects where I thought to myself, what am I doing? I am never going to wear this. I am going to look like a total granny. And granted, I do… but I never expected it to be so warm! I wear it a lot when I am practising. I sit with my back against a window and loves that it keeps the draft off my back as well as staying put. It makes a mega regular scarf, too. Perfect for these increasingly more wintery days!
