My Stephen West Shawlography Shawl is finished (bar the blocking) and I’m very happy with it! I don’t think I’ve enjoyed knitting on anything more than I have enjoyed knitting this shawl. I only got the ‘hurry up and be done feels’ on the last quarter of the final border, so I think that’s pretty good going.
Of course it’s all about the process! If you had shown me the finished shawl at the beginning of the knit-along, I might have said ‘hell no, I don’t want to knit that!’ It doesn’t exactly fit into my everyday wear. BUT, there will come a time when I do go back to work in an office, and hopefully I’ll fit back into a LBD, and this shawl will be a conversation piece…
I thought the final border was really fun, fun looking anyway, like a circus tent. The final result also reminds me of a Christmas Tree skirt, and the Christmas Tree Skirt I haven’t crocheted yet… but I digress.
So I’m hoping to finish off my WIPs by the end of November, a jumper and 2 pairs of socks (1 pair was just cast-on). So that I’ll be free in December to knit Christmas Tree decorations and work on my cosy memories blanket. I have a few Advent calendars coming, and I really can’t wait for December and the new year. Next year WILL be better won’t it?

Congratulations Sonia. Your shawl is divine!
Love the colors you used in your shawl. Quite vibrant. I would not have been able to keep up with all the knitting so congratulations for getting it done.
