Zig-Zag Fantasy Shawl

I finally finished this shawl after having it going for the last 6 years. I decided to start working on it again the week before I went to the hospital for my gastric-bypass. I thought I would actually work on it in the hospital but that didn't happen I just didn't have the energy. I had just the border left and so while recuperating I knitted and finished it.



The pattern is from the company Wool You Order. I bought it 6 years ago and did the intermediate pattern first for Tobbe's sister Linda. After I finished that one I decided to do the easier one and picked this really fabulous yarn that is by GarnStudio it is a 52% silk- 48% wool blend sort of tweedy I so love it. I think the problem I had with the shawl was that it was boring and at the time I started it I had just started school and didn't have as much time with it. I then took it out a few years ago and worked on it until I got to the border and didn't like how the border was going. When I took it out last month I noticed that the reason I didn't like the border was because I had done it wrong so ripped it out and started over, this time I liked it and was able to finish it. I still need to wash and block it. I will probably do it this weekend. Today I was a bit chilled so actually used it a bit while watching tv on the couch. Very happy to be finished with it.
