First Shawl Completed!

Here is a picture of the first shawl completed on my new triangle loom.   A total of 16 hours to weave from start to finish, two hours alone for the nine inch fringe.   Woven of baby acrylic and nylon eyelash yarn, it is a loose weave, but still very soft and warm.   Wore it  yesterday for Christmas.   Now to move on to the woolen shawls.



Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!  I'm looking forward to the New Year.   Already planning the gardens...first seed catalog arrived in today's mail.

    Nice work and beautiful colors! I love the long fringe. It's nice how quickly those triangle shawls go and how much of the yarn stash they use up too.

    Hi, I found your blog through Becky's blog. Your shawl is lovely! And I enjoyed reading through your blog. The story about your bloody nose sounds like something that could happen to me! I just hope I remember next time I go to turn a feed pan over.
