I finished my peacock shawl.



It is pinned out and blocking! It is beautiful!

I think Sable now understands that she is a cherished pet. She is quite willing to be stroked, these days, and last night, she came and snuggled between my knees while I knitted - without the protective buffer of Princess Fluffykins, who was on top of the library shelf. It's nice.

Fluffy, of course, recognised months ago that she is the household princess.

That is so beautiful. Congratulations!

Thank you! I anticipate swanning into Biddy's wearing it two weeks from now - assuming it doesn't rain.

oh, that's gorgeous! how absolutely lovely - you should definitely feel all glam when wearing it

congrats on winning Sable over - glad she's now willing to snuggle with you

Inevitably I have no actual occasion to wear a peacock shawl, but I may be able to create one just so that I can!

Sable even shows signs of enjoying being stroked. \o/

Beautiful!

[pensnest]

Thank you. :-)

It's lovely!! The pattern and the colours are so perfect together!

Awww, Sable is such a little darling.

I bought the yarns at Fibre East last year, so really, I'm doing quite well to have used them ust a year later. Ahem. I'm now making another asymmetric shawl/scarf with the copious leftovers, and anticipate using the rest of it in my niece's Christmas gift.

Sable is a little sweetheart.

That's gorgeous! I love it!

[pensnest]

Thank you - I am rather proud of it.

Lovely! What gorgeous colors, and the feather shape so visible.

[pensnest]

It was quite hard to see the feather shapes when it was on the needles, but it blocked to about twice the size and the feathers are lovely.

Stunning!

[pensnest]

Thank you! I hope to wear it to Biddy's next time, but if it rains I'll save it until November (which means you will get to see it).

Oh, that is *stunning*!

Also, hurray for kitties

[pensnest]

I'm very pleased with it.

My kitties are very adorable.

Your shawl is beautiful. Up close the detail is incredible.

[pensnest]

I have to admit, I'm rather proud of it.
