Photo of a woman wearing a giant blue and purple shawl and grey pants. The shawl is triangle shaped and the point of the triangle is at her knees. The shawl tree of life motifs ending in rings of bobbles. There is a border that also has a tree of life motif running around it.

I find it really difficult to take pictures of myself, even with a tripod. But look how huge this shawl is! I’m 5’1 and it comes to my knees!

Blue and purple shawl stretched across a table.

Freshly off the needles and about to have a bath!

Hand holding knitting needles that are working a blue and purple shawl. The shawl is draped over a reclining brown and white pitbull.

Knitting, murder mysteries, and dog: the perfect Friday evening.

A blue and purple shawl showing bobbles and a tree of life motif. This is the point of the triangle shawl showing the border being knit at the bottom.

The edge of the shawl has 382 stitches and they’re being joined by a border that’s 22 stitches wide. So for every body stitch I join, I knit 44. It’s taking forever but I just turned the corner.

A black canvas bag is stuffed and overflowing with a purple and blue shawl.

Maybe I need a larger bag to take my knitting to trivia night. Maybe…

Close up of a tree of life motif knitted in purple, blue, green variegated yarn.

I’m at the point where I have finally memorized the pattern and no longer have to consult the chart.

Purple and blue shawl close-up. A tree of life pattern ends in a row of bobbles in circles. The edge of the shawl is another tree of life pattern.

More edging. There’s enough done that I can finally see what the shawl is going to look like all grown up.

The bobbles are finally done! I’m on to the edge and the finish line is in sight.

Section of a purple and blue shawl showing four sections of bobbles. A brown and white dog snoozes in the background.

Almost done with all the bobbles. Just one more row of them. My knitting supervisor appears to be asleep on the job but she’s ready to observe at a moment’s notice.

Photo of a panel of a knitted shawl with a tree of life motif. The yarn is variegated with purples and blues.

I managed two rows of my #NerudaShawl tonight. We’re at 300+ stitches per row at this point. The yarn for the next project is in the mail…

A close up of the motif because this is all I see when I’m working on it. I do like it.

Third mid-body chart repeat done! I just realized that I will be working the new chart at trivia tomorrow. That might not have been the best plan.

Second mid-body chart repeat done! I took some time away to finish the chicken.

First mid-body chart repeat done!

#knitting #shawlknitting #nerudashawl #malabrigorios #knitfastdiewarm 🧶

I definitely see the motif now. I’m almost done with the first body chart repeat and I’m really enjoying this pattern and this yarn.

The further I get into this, the more I enjoy this pattern. I think the motif is visible in person.
