On the knitting front here's the finished Asterope shawl that I did as a part of alphabet challenge that is running in Finnish Ravelry group Kahelit. The goal was to begin a project that begins with letter "A" in October and to finish it by the end of November. Similarily in November the challenge was to begin a "B" project which should be ready by the end of December. What a wonderful idea! So it is no wonder that I'm in.

Yarn: Garnstudio Drops Baby Alpaca Silk (4 skeins) in #0100
Needles: 4mm
I made the size large and I love the result! The design is simple - yet beautiful. The yarn must be one of the softest ones I've ever encoutered and the knitting experience was just wonderful. (Ever noticed that many times the shawl patterns look great and are beautiful but somehow end up being either a bore to knit or then they are the kind of patterns that can only be knitted when 130% focused and the light is good and the planets have been correctly alligned etc...) This shawl was an exception to that rule. What a JOY to knit! I am already considering knitting the smaller version in Malabrigo lace (or something like that). What a fun!!
Kerrassaan ihana malli neuloa! Tietysti pienessä mielessä on jo käynyt josko neuloisi myös sen pienemmän version tästä. Mahdollisesti Malabrigo lace langasta tms.
