Bee Fields Shawl


So the other day I was preparing my first day of the year post. You know, the one where I review everything I’ve knit all year and set goals for the coming year. Guess what I realized? I never showed you any photos of the finished Bee Fields Shawl. I can’t even believe that. It’s the most gorgeous, most complex, most time consuming thing I knit all year and I never showed you. Until now.

I’ve discovered a problem with my new camera, though. All the pictures come out so wonderful I have a hard time deciding which ones to post. I hope you don’t mind.

    I love the shawl and the color. And having a problem with taking wonderful photos is such a horrid problem. But I am sure that you can live with it.

    Hannah is always so beautiful and makes for a great model. But of course, you do too. Bee Fields is just gorgeous and the color is fantastic. That’s so funny that you forgot to mention it. Congrats on a most successful knit. Happy New Year to your family!

    That is one fine-looking shawl. I’m ashamed to say I own the yarn and the pattern, but haven’t begun it. I have knit a lot of lace; somehow, the way this one was presented seemed daunting. I’m sure I could probably knit it, yet I haven’t. Sigh.

  43. Teyani Said,

      December 31, 2007 @ 8:24 pm

    just incredible…. the shawl is so wonderful – and lots of applause goes to you for it’s completion.
    Joyous New Year to you!!

  44. Rachel Said,

    Ah yes, a gorgeous FO and a top-notch camera are a good recipe for very difficult decisions when it comes to selecting the best blog photos.

    (I say that as though I often have gorgeous FOs, which sounds a little egotistical. I didn’t mean it that way.)

    The shawl is stunning, of course — and what fun to realize you have something so great with which to close out the year?

    Happy New Year!

    I feel privileged to have seen it at Rhinebeck. It’s fabulous! And picture overload is always encouraged when the FO is so stunning. ;-)

    WOW, Carole. WOW! I saw this shawl knit up at Great Basin, and thought I would never, ever attempt it. But you’re inspiring me…..

    Fabulous work! It’s gorgeous!
