My spouse was in a serious car accident. As I was leaving for the ER, I grabbed some Kauni I had been saving for a rainy day and the first needles I could find. Cast on for a shawl while waiting for him to return from his CT scan.

Cast on Wednesday, blocked the following Monday. Perfect timing since he was given a work release to go back to work. True knitting therapy. It helped me appropriately manage my stress and worry over the concussion and healing process while still being a supportive spouse and mama to our kids.

The yarn knit up in this color pattern. I did zero color planning and didn’t split the colors up. I am in love.
