The shawl that has been kicking my a– for the last 6 weeks is done. You can’t tell by the picture how silky it is, but trust me on this. Merino wool is the softest lambswool and this is blended with silk.
There are several other projects that I finished also: two guitar straps, four stocking hats, a lacy mobius and a dozen or so felted flowers. Several breaks from the main to keep me from burnout, and I was good to go. It’s actually bigger than I thought it was going to be.
Now, with this much invested, will I be able to sell it? We’ll soon see. I have a meeting/pre-screening with a buyer from Tamarack (a venue that carries WVa artisans exclusively), in two days. Yet another new experience. Bring it.

Hey Lady~
Nice work. You just keep getting better. That is good news for me. I will just keep getting better too. Did you spin this wool too? Georgeous.
