Washed and Blocked...
This Shawlette took me 3 months to knit and it could have been done so much quicker,
had I only been able to conquer the ruffle.
I knitted the base part in no time flat.
But oh that ruffle, I almost gave up and then I didn't...I am so glad I stuck with it.
Up next...
I will use my grayish yarn as the trim.
The edges look a little funky, but that will be hidden by the trim yarn.
I'm not sure why the edges look so sloppy,
I am a pretty neat knitter.
the hubs said I have 2 more that have emerged overnight that I will release later today!
I loved this image, the sun wash shining through the branches of the azalea bush,
creating such a pretty pattern.
"I did not fail, I just found about 10,000 ways that did not work - and then I found 1 that did"
Have an awesome day!

How I wish I knew how to knit. I can crochet like a champ but everytime I attempt to knit I don't know what is wrong with me. I am SO uncoordinated when it comes to knitting and it frustrates me because I love knitted pieces come out. Your shawl came out beautifully.. Do raise butterflies? Did you raise that one in the photo? it's beautiful! I love butterflies. They remind me of my mom because she loved butterflies. I've wanted to get some butterfly bushes or plants to attract them just don't know which ones do..
I love the look of it and you pick the perfect color. Fantastic butterfly photo, how rewarding it must be to send them on their way.
Love your shawl! And Black Swallowtails!... and that last quote.
Very nice! What do you do with your finished projects, use them or gift them?💖
It's a good thing you persevered with the ruffle as it is the making of your pretty shawl. The ruffle is so pretty. A gorgeous photo of the butterfly! The sunlight dancing is a lovely thing.
I do both, gifting and some I keep. I probably gift more than I keep!!!!!
That shawlette is beautiful! Great job!
I'm glad you persisted .That shawl looks good.
I think the shawlette looks great, such a nice colour.
That butterfly is amazing, what colour and markings.
All the best Jan
Te salio muy bien el chal y yo también saco mariposas al jardín cuando se meten en mi casa. Te mando un beso
Enamorada de las letras
translated: Your shawl came out very well and I also take butterflies out in the garden when they come into my house. I send a kiss
In love with letters
Hello Debbie,
Your shawlette looks beautiful, great job! I love the pretty Swallowtail. Great quote! Wishing you a great day!
Your shawl came out sooooo pretty! and great picture of the butterfly.
Oh my your shawl looks fantastic, the ruffle is just beautiful, so glad you didn't give up. I think knitting while it is on the needles don't always look good, it's after the blocking it all comes together :)
The butterfly looks so pretty with your bokeh bush in the background, boy they are coming out fast aren't they!
The background IS perfect for the butterfly. What an exciting time! And beautiful things you are making. You amaze me!
