It’s done, it’s done, it is done! I knitted on this all yesterday afternoon while binge watching this season’s Parenthood episodes, and finally finished it around dinner time. It was wet blocked this morning and dried outside in the breeze.
I tried getting my cat MacKenzie to model it for me with less than satisfactory results. At least you can see how nicely the grey and black in his coat goes with the shawl’s colors. 🙂 My fallback model is the maple tree, which does let you see the rows of eyelets pretty well.
This is what it looks like on me. The color is really rich looking, and the 20% cashmere makes it nice around my neck.
I know that I shouldn’t have done it, but I also cast on TWO new Hitchhiker shawls this afternoon. Really, I just wanted to see what the yarns would look like in the bias knitted fabric…
Shawl Information: 3S Shawl by Amy Meade. Yarn is Serenity 20 from Zen Yarn Garden.

yummy indeed!

Hope you find something fun!
Oh, but in the cat/shawl photo it looks for all the world as though he has claimed it and is saying “mine.” My cat gets a look on her face when she lays on one of my shawls that is quite clearly “bug off, I have this one, find another!”
I did have some trouble getting it away from him. I think he likes the cashmere too. 🙂
What a nice cat blanket…err… shawl!
🙂
We all know you knitted it for the kitty though.
Well, he would certainly agree with you. I’m thinking of making him a “Kitty Pi” bed in the hope that he will stop sleeping on my knitted stuff.
