I am very satisfied with this shawl. The process was fun, not all mkals include such enjoyable knitting. And I really like the colors, I chose them carefully to be added to my wardrobe, kinda felt I needed that combination in a shawl... 

I had planned on photographing my freshly finished, washed and blocked shawl on Friday but somehow my body decided to catch a horrid cold, something that rarely happens, so I had to stay inside Friday afternoon and all of Saturday. Photos were postponed, that's fine. But what was worse was my cabin fever. I have this thing were I just have to go outside for a iittle walk or run or bike ride or whatever every day. It's probably my healthiest obsession, but an obsession none the less. Going outside is the key to every mood swing, every bad hair day, every disappointment and frustration. So this afternoon, with the sun shining and my cold much better after two days of staying inside I was more than eager to get out! We went for a long family walk in our "backyard" the seaside. It's not technically our backyard (oh, I wish) but so close it might almost just as well be. The smell in the air was all spring and ocean. Mmmmm. We got a few nice photos of the shawl, took turns relaxing in that awesome rustic hammock by the shore and then went all the way down to the sea. A perfect afternoon.
