What I Knit – 6
It’s been a while since I’ve posted about my knitting, and I had a good reason for that : I had been working on a special gift for my aunt, something that easily took me 40+ hours to make. It’s a Valentine Shawl, and it’s filled with heart as you can see! 😀
My aunt Gabby had to have open-heart surgery last winter and the road to recovery has been a difficult one. On top of that, she has been showing signs of some memory trouble, which the doctors think are signs of Alzheimer (she still has some tests to run to verify the diagnostic).
I’m hoping this will bring her some support and comfort and love in a difficult time. My aunt has been giving all of her life – to my grandma, to her brothers and sisters, to my mom and I, to everyone. I thought it was time to turn things around, and for me to give her something special 🙂 She more than deserves it! I’ll be seeing her at the start of August and I can’t wait to give it to her!
Oh my gosh, that shawl is stunning!! I’m sure your aunt will love it!
That’s a great shawl!
Is that ever pretty. Love the color is well.
That’s gorgeous! I love it and best wishes to her recovery.
Thank you guys! <3
That shawl is gorgeous! At first when I saw it I thought it was a pair of knickers! Great job with all that detail. It’s amazing!
That’s so funny; my sister had the same thought when I posted the pictures on facebook! 😛 And thank you, that’s really nice of you <3
That is such a beautiful shawl, Kay, wow! I hope your aunt’s recovery goes well.
Wow, that’s beautiful Kay!
I hope your aunt gets better soon. And the shawl is simply amazing. I love your craft posts. I keep on meaning to learn knitting but I always end up getting intimidated. One of these days!
Thank you so much for your nice words <3
Just beautiful, Kay — I’m sure your aunt is going to love it! Sending warm thoughts her way and hoping for a speedy recovery.
This shawl is AMAZING! I haven’t ventured into this type of knitting yet, but that really is stunning! I’m sure your aunt will love it; it’s clear it was made with not only skill but tons of love!
Oh it’s beautiful!

Nice to come across your blog today! Knitting, photography, books… there’s a lot to enjoy here. And I see you’re reading Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children? I just discovered that book, and I am intrigued… it’s on my to-read list. hmm…. I’m going to have to add you to my blogroll so I remember to come back and see what you think of it! 🙂
