Flying feathers

The Pretty as a Peacock knitalong is going really well, I'm so pleased so many people have joined. It's not a simple knit, it's not a quick knit, and you can't buy the pattern as a pdf, so the people that have joined the knitalong have already made a bit of an effort to get hold of the pattern in the first place.

Hopefully that is a good sign that they will actually knit the shawl. I am always disappointed to see knitalongs where there are lots of members but not many finished items. And I too, have been guilty of joining a knitalong and not actually doing the knitting. Twice in fact. The mind is willing but the flesh is weak, as they say.

One thing I have knit though, twice, is the pretty as a peacock shawl.

Here it is on the shawl chair, with the 'obscure latin verse on stone tablet' decorator item I always use as a point of interest.


And here's what it would look like if you were very thin, had no head and were off to a toga party.

Or, on a more human form.


Now to decide what's next ...
