I'll be posting about the whole thing soon, but for now let's get to what you really care about: the shawl.
Y'all know how long it took me to actually decide on a pattern. I went through every different option for shawls on ravelry (not to mention trying to design my own) before ultimately deciding on... the very first pattern that I picked out at the start.
Despite the odd name, the center of this shawl just screamed "snowflake" to me.
The color was the perfect deep emerald green that is exactly what I had envisioned when I was planning our color scheme.
It is proving a little impossible to photograph, so you'll just have to use your imagination a bit.
Or, y'know, just go buy yourself some.
Shoutout to Mikayla and Caitlin for basically strong arming me into buying this yarn instead of letting me continue to fret and change my mind a billion more times.
My whole ensemble made me feel like some ethereal fae being.
I can't even put into words how incredible I felt.
We won't talk about the amount of sweat going on with all these layers, though...
We also won't discuss the fact that I put in FIFTEEN HUNDRED BLOODY BEADS INTO THIS THING!
Because why do something easy when I can be Extra As Fuck?
Let's be honest, it wouldn't have been a properly Ashtan-ed shawl without the beads.
And the dramatic poses.
Okay, I've prattled on enough about literally the best thing I've ever made, so I'll leave you off with one more glamour shot.
Have a happy holidays, y'all.
