This yarn does feel fantastic and the pattern is easy enough (though it does require concentration). But this seems endless right about now. This is going to be a fairly huge shawl…

Fuck, this is SO tedious. I know that the finished object will be gorgeous and feel fantastic, so I’m sticking with it. I also know I’m going to give it to my mother for her 70th bday and that’s making me less inclined to continue with the boredom cuz I know I won’t be the one to love it in the end! But I bought enough of the yarn to make another version of this for myself. If I can ever be bothered!

So, I don’t know if I’ll ever forget how boring and tedious this was to knit - which is unfortunate, because I sense the wet-blocking finished object is going to be totally gorgeous and I’m giving it away. On the plus side, I have almost 10 more skeins of this gorgeous yarn to repurpose on another project, if I can’t stand to re-engage with this one.

Can’t confirm things till the finished object is dried, but I really hope this yarn is going to block spectacularly.

This is all that and a bag of chips. Looks as luxe as it feels. Honestly, if you came by this at a boutique it would retail at 600 bucks.

My mother wore this today and I was blown away by how gorgeously it drapes, how utterly soft it feels, how nicely (and elegantly) the yarn has bloomed. It looks fantastic - so much so that, even though I disliked knitting this (so tedious), I’ve decided that I must make one for myself using the residual stash of this I purchased once I realized how fantastic this yarn is. One of my faves, ever.
