Oh, how I love this shawl!
It took much longer than expected, due to boredom with the garter stitch base, I believe. Then I ran out of yarn as I was about to begin the final row. Argh. But I was able to fudge an ending and now I am a very happy knitter, and also Maid (matron?) of Honour, because this baby will be over my shoulders at my sister's wedding this summer. Along with shoes the same colour.
I was never much into yellow, but now I love it, especially earthy, honey, buttery, mustardy tones. Obviously I like the colours of food...
Pattern is Damson, by Ysolde Teaque
Yarn is Quince Tern, in Buoy (with the final finish in Quince Chickadee in Carrie's Yellow)
