FO Hjerteblad
I finished this a while ago, but haven’t posted about it because I wanted the recipient to be the first one to see it.

Design: my own
Yarn: New Zealand Crossbred Wool 12/2, 600mt/100gr
Needles: 3.75 mm bamboo circular
To like or not: Not only did the recipient like it, she loved it! I’m honoured - and the butterflies are gone!
Addendum: I like simplicity and my shawls don’t tell stories. The stitch patterns are just that, stitches arranged in patterns that are pleasing to my eyes.
This shawl was different. A mother lost her son, and though I know her only from her blog I had to do something more than just offer my condolences. This shawl had to say something. Something about leaves on the tree of life, and how some of them fall off much to soon, but live on as beautiful flowers in the hearts of other people. It means a lot to me that she liked it.

14 Dec 2007 @ 23:14:02Jeg så hvilken lykke sjalet gjorde, og jeg fik lyst til at fortælle dig, hvor flot jeg synes sjalet er og hvilken gestus du har gjort. Det er dejligt at vide, at der der er folk, som tænker på andre end sig selv, ja endda på folk de slet ikke kender i det virkelige live
