Admittedly, I finished this shawl WEEKS ago. In fact, I've finished two more since then (hey there, Christmas knitting). However, as I've moaned about before, I feel like an idiot running around with my camera and tripod in hand in public places taking self portraits. Plus things have been really busy lately. Seriously, it's a little pathetic. Sooo... I got up early on Saturday morning and managed to find a nice secluded spot by an abandoned building on a street that no one seems to drive down that early in the day. That sounds a little rapey, doesn't it? Well, no one was there and the area surrounding the building was very open so I would have seen someone if they tried to sneak up on me. In any case, I finally got some photos of my Ishbel, so now I can start wearing it! Yes! I should also note that it was about 45 degrees outside, but I felt that wearing it with a long sleeved shirt would look frumpy and would not complement the lace. So there you go, I shot photos of myself in public wearing practically nothing on a super cold Saturday morning JUST FOR YOU! I hope you enjoy them. The Ishbel shawl is a design by Ysolda Teague. Additional project details may be found on my Ishbel - On My Needles post.
