Pearl's Shawl

This is the project I've been working on the last month. It is the Leaf and Nupp shawl from Knitted Lace of Estonia. It is made with fiber from my rabbit Pearl who passed in July. It is my tribute to her, and I think I did pretty darn well if I may say so! I only had 14 yards left after I cast off, that was cutting it really close at the end, so I skipped a purl round on the edge and I only used one strand instead of two for the bind off. It has a gorgeous halo, it is so light, but it is very warm :)

Absolutely stunning, Rachel!
It's something to treasure, and will be like a big hug from Pearl, whenever you wear it. :)
