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.

I only knit for people I am confident will want my knitting. It’s a rule. But I broke it. And now my stomach is full of butterflies.

Jeg har en regel om at kun strikke til mennesker jeg er meget sikker på gerne vil have det jeg strikker. Jeg har brudt min egen regel, og nu er maven fyldt med sommerfugle.
