Something done

Finally! It's taken quite some time but I have managed to complete something. This is the Emily Dickinson shawl which was a commission for someone on Ravelry.

I came close to finishing it a couple of weeks ago but then I ran out of yarn 26 rows from the end. So more yarn had to be ordered and it arrived on Friday. I was anxious to finish the shawl so I grab a few moments between undertaking activities with some visitors from Holland and managed to finish the shawl. 

So, here she is. Knitted in Jamieson & Smith 1 ply cobweb yarn on 3.5mm needles. And I used 6/0 beads in black.

How frustrating, to be that close to finishing and then have to wait for more yarn! Well worth the wait though, the shawl is gorgeous!

Very pretty. I am sure the client will love it.

Beautiful as always! That really must have been a wait. I always start to panic if I run out of yarn, even if I know more is readily available!

Beautiful, Amanda! And beautifully blocked as well. I especially admire that today, as I just finished blocking two shawls. I keep putting that off...

That is absolutely gorgeous, yarn problems or no yarn problems... I'm sure your client will be delighted!
