Yes! I got permission by the recipient to post a redacted image of her wrapped in the shawl (thus the black spots).
She is my Dad’s polish house keeper/live-in nurse/companion.
She absolutely was over the moon getting it. ‘Polish winters are cold’.

And it is done. The final glamour shot here on my office couch. Now to pack it down to take it to the recipient tomorrow.
I think I’ll be knitting more shawls again.

The edging is grafted. The slits are sewn. A dropped stitch sewn back in. Ready for its soak and its stretch tomorrow afternoon.
Then it will get to shine and really show off its pattern.

There's a mill in Shetland that still produces the cobweb yarn. I may make it a goal for this year to get some and try my hand at knitting one of these shawls. I believe Ravelry has patterns for them.
