It's not snowy.
It's just grey.
No sun. No blue sky.
Nothing but bleakness as far as you can see.
And it is really hard to find the motivation to go take pictures of a shawl when you know everything is going to end up looking just as dull.
So I finally just threw in the towel, tossed Fancy up against the house, and snapped a few quick pics.
And that's what you'll just have to live with. I'm tired of trying to wait out the weather.
*Technically* this is the Nancy pattern from Boo Knits, but for a whole host of reasons, there was no bloody way I was calling this shawl that name.
So, it became Fancy.
Which is a bit of a laugh because fancy this shawl is not.
It's rather understated.
A plain body, simple lace, minimal beading.
Plus it's a DK weight (TIG Springvale DK in Heartbreak Hotel) rather than my usual fingering weight shawls, which means it's a little heavier.
I used plain silver beads because I didn't want anything super shiny.
In the end, I came out with a serviceable piece that can easily be used as shawl or scarf.
And if I'm honest, I'm glad I decided to give it to my spouse since that means I can occasionally wear it, too.
As for my next project, I may have something rather familiar on my needles.
But you'll just have to wait to see that one.
