The Reyna Shawl off the needles

Finally finished this shawl that towards the end really gave me big problems which ended up making this shawl to be a month late. Never mind, It's done and I love it. I bought the yarn in Dublin this year in February. It's Hedgehog Fibres Sock and the colourway is Spell. I love the colour of this yarn but I don't like the yarn. It's splitting a lot and it's very squeaky. It feels like you are knitting with cotton and not wool, and it is 90% Merino and 10% Nylon. And when I was soaking it for the blocking it bled like mad. :( So I will not buy any more of this yarn and I have two other colours in my stash of this one, so I will use them but not buy any new ones unless they are sorting this out.

Off the needles today - Pyttipanna shawl No. 14

It's been a while since I knitted this shawl and this is the first one for this year. I felt I needed a autumn shawl so I knitted this one again for the 14th time.
