During my vacation I watched the movie
"Sweet November" with Charlize Theron.
In this movie she is a passionated knitter -
I find it very relaxing to see that in a movie,
and inspiring too!
Charlize Theron also wore a shawl/scarf in various colors
throughout the movie. I think, it's the reason that I saw
the movie to the end. I couldn't take my eyes of the shawl!
Thanks to my friends, Google and Ravelry, I realized,
that many crafty persons had seen the movie and this lovely shawl.
I found the right pattern and yarn. I L-O-V-E this shawl!
The pattern is easy and relaxing - soon I will have my own
collection of Sweet November Shawls in various colors.
You find a link to the pattern here
I used Blue Sky Alpaca organic Cotton.
This yarn completes the shawl,
I only wish, I could buy it in the neighbor hood.
It was quite a challenge to get it to DK....
Lucky you who have a local store with this wonderful yarn.
Skønt sjal!
