As the title implies, I have a finished item to show you.
A new love to wrap up in.
Shawl stats:
- Pattern: Cameo
- Yarn: KnitPicks Stoll Solids-Agate and Sunrise Fiber and Company-Orchid
- Needles: 5 3.75 m.m
This shawl taught me so many things about perseverance. It was a lot of long rows of garter. At times I thought they would never end. The end result was so worth it, as it is with anything. I would not call the pattern boring, it was the perfect project for some much needed mindless knitting.
This week mindless knitting has been much needed with all the pain and suffering our world has been through. Whatever your craft or hobby is, I hope you are finding comfort in it.
I enjoy the video series,Fifty People/One Question. I enjoy this one in particular and ask you...Where would you like to wake up tomorrow?

Me? I would like to wake up in my dream cabin in Colorado. :)

You do such beautiful work Andi! That shawl is awesome!
As for the burning question, I'd like to wake up in a new home under blue skies and birds singing. Doesn't matter where ...

Your shawl is just beautiful.
I would like to wake up in Iceland with all of my knitting friends. So we can take a knitting and hiking tour together.

Your shawl looks so snuggly and comforting.
I don't have a cabin, but you're welcome to wake up in my tiny apartment in Colorado after I wake up in Boston, close to where all my friends are! :P

Your shawl looks lovely! Those colours are very you! I think if I could go anywhere I think I'd like to visit an American knitting friend of mine! ;)

I love your Cameo! Mindless knitting is great! I would say waking up at home would pretty much make me happy too when I think about it!

Gorgeous Andi, beautiful knit :)
I would like to wake up somewhere where through my open bedroom window - I'm imagining gently fluttering sheer white curtains by the way - I can hear the sea breaking on a mile of white beach. Somewhere northerly though, nowhere hot. Bliss :)

it's so beautiful! I'd like to wake up in Thessaloniki (Greece), I've been there only once but it's left quite an impression! :)

That is sooooooo beautiful. Make me want to cast on for one right now. :)
A dream cabin in Colorado. I like it. Although I'm ready to escape Colorado and head to warmer climes :)

Your Cameo is beautiful, Andi! The colors are wonderful. I would like to wake up on a warm beach (it's starting to snow here right now!!)

Gorgeous shawl Andi...I would like to wake up and for my life to be normal..My daughter not to be in jail and not be a drug addict and bipolar and everyday for me not to wake up and be in fear of what my day holds...More than you asked for huh...me too!
Posted by: denise | 04/21/2013 at 05:18 PM
I really like the edging on that shawl. Simple but pretty.
And where would I like to wake up? Well... I live in an area with wonderful weather, so I'm happy to wake up where I am.

It's beautiful !
Where I would like to wake up.. ? I feel okay here, so it would be my home ( my dream about it would be for the weather being sunnier.. )

Your shawl looks really lovely and snuggly. I really like those colours together too. I honestly love some garter knitting sometimes just for the pure mindlessness of it. Relaxing and comforting, even if in the end all I do is rip it back out again.
Me... I'd love to wake up right here, snuggled up in bed with my loves and no plans for the day. Alas, there are always plans and things to do... :)
Posted by: Amanda | 04/22/2013 at 03:57 AM
That shawl is gorgeous.
I want to wake up either in an amazing yarn shop or in a giant, personal painting studio. Both sound amazing and relaxing. :)
Posted by: Lisa | 04/22/2013 at 05:28 AM
Very elegant Andi! It is indeed gorgeous.
Posted by: Angela | 04/23/2013 at 07:41 AM
I would like to wake up right where I do every day - next to my husband in our house that is filled with the love of our children and furry family members. I want for nothing because I have all I need.
Your shawl is beautiful. I love the earth tone palette you used, something I never do for I fear it would look dull but your things always look classic and sophisticated. You did a wonderful job.
