Sunny Sail wrap

 I finished my Concatenation shawl yesterday.  I had a major problem at the end in that I must have put an ink pen into the basket to take with me one day and there was a huge ink blob in the middle of the shawl that I did not feel as if I could live with.  So after the bind off, I cut out the section and reknit a few rows.  Then I used the link below to help me knit a graft between the two sets of live stitches.  This process is a way to knit the kitchener stitch

the join that I made is not perfect, but I am much happier with the join than I would have been with the ink blob!  So today I will block and take photos.  I do love this shawl!

But then I had a serious problem in that I had to have a mindless project to use during the 24 hour History of Ukraine  program!  And often starting a new project is not mindless!  However I found the perfect project.  


When I downloaded the English version, the shawl had a new name:


I am doing my version in yellow Mohair/Silk yarn from Debbie Bliss called Angel


And a sock yarn by Noro:









 This is truly a great mindless project.  Today my plan is to look for a wedding shawl to work on as well ...or perhaps two.
