Finished Muir

I will post about my awesome retreat soon, but first I want to show off my finished Muir.

I got the wool at Dyelots in Eugene.  Janis does fabulous colors, and I have especially been weak to her more sinister colorways.  While I was in her shop, she had a large basket of wool blend for next to nothing and I couldn’t help but cave in.

Would you have been able to resist?

Even though Janis had recommended a softly spun chubby single, I threw all caution to the wind and went with lace.  Obviously, I’ve been obsessed with lace lately, so I really had no choice.

A Jasmine Cat for proportion.

Since the fiber was a wool blend, it isn’t the softest yarn ever.  I have a very high tolerance for itch though, so I don’t mind.  I do love how the colors ended up, and knitting the pattern was fun and quick.  The shawl is a large shawl that can be worn many different ways.

Now that I’ve been finishing so many projects it’s time for me to start casting on!
