So I made a shawl (plus cat for scale). I'm very proud of how it turned out, but like, I have no where to actually wear it XD I also don't really have an outfit to wear it with either. I might give it to a friend or something idk
I noticed that the Royal Easter Show had a category for an item made completely from handspun. So I did something crazy & spent December/Jan crocheting up the shawl my ‘Sunburnt Country’ handspun was destined for to enter the category.
Regardless of how successful this piece will be in the competition, this shawl came out more beautiful than I imagined when I was designing the yarn.
Wearing my new shawls is my favorite thing! @nestingtendencies sent me my new true loves, my lovely Evia and my darling Rhubarb n Cream!
I love styling my outfits to try and find a matching color coordinated outfit with the gradients. Blues are so hard to come close and I have some other outfits I want to try it with. But I just LOVE LOVE LOVE Rhubarb the best, the edges are my favorite part, and the gradient of creams to reds and pinks so delicate and lovely!!!
Also, I’ve been having a lot of fun wearing them in different ways! I love having the point of it draped over my shoulder to showcase the shape and pattern, but having it around my neck with the tails in front is so chic tbh 👀 there really is so many ways to wear it!
even on a bright pink sweater, still rhubarb and cream is like a cherry on top!
I feel so fancy 🥰🥰🥰 wearing the most pretty shawls in the world 🥰🥰
