On its way. . .

This is appropriately named Passion Flowers designed by Marisa Hernandez.  I knit it in Cephalopod Yarns' Skinny Bugga in Oleander Nympha.  It was a sample for the yarn company and much to my model's dismay, it is winging its way to them now.  These aren't the greatest photos, but they do give the idea of how gorgeous it is.  I think I might have to make another since I already have the yarn and this only took 9 days start to finish (including blocking).

Hey Dena, how about a knit along?

I can't believe it's even humanly possible to knit these shawls, especially in nine days. It totally boggles my mind! This is absolutely amazing!

WOW! That is gorgeous. Is 9 days an average amount of time to knit a shawl? Or is that knitting from sun-up to sun-down? Just beautiful. What a shame to have to send it off . . .

Oh my! How I wish I could knit from sun up to sun down! I have two daughters so not a lot of time to do what I want! Mostly I knit in the evenings while sitting and watching tv (when not folding laundry). I do knit while waiting for kids after school or during extra curricular activities but in summer there are precious few of those. I do admit that this was monogamous knitting and all other projects stayed in their bags.
