Octans will also be a Shawl

Octans will also be sized for a shawl, the pattern will be available for free for people on my newsletter, the sign up is on my link page.We had a lovely photoshoot that fall. My husband came home from work while our daughter was at the library with her reading tutor (the lady who modeled the Sempervivarum Shawl). It was overcast (diffuse light!) and the goldenrod was blooming.#knit #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knitting_inspiration #knittingaddict #knitstagram#knitwear #instaknit #ilovetoknit #instaknitters #knittinginspiration #nevernotknitting#knittinglife #handknit #best_knitters #knitknitknit #strikkedilla #strikk #strikking #strick#strickenmachtsüchtig #tricot #knittersoftheworld #tricot #fashionknits #knittersofig #designinprogress

My friend Leslie (Blueeyedcrafty) told me that as long as I was writing a rectangular pattern for afghans, I should figure out the sizes for a few rectangular shawls.  My main excitement was the 8 pointed star that short row slides enable.

I finished the sample in the autumn.  I’d made a dress to match my shawl with grey top stitching to match the silver.  We had an overcast day and our daughter was at tutoring at the library.  Dan took off from work early to take photos.  A  new dress, kids elsewhere, a project to do with Dan?  Totally a date.
