It went off to the post office today.
It has been a good lesson, first step, in learning to pay attention to process,
to evaluate it,
and try to answer the question of worth and value.
Packaging it up.
Wishing I could just take it outside and let it fly on the wind to her . . .
I think I often avoid finishing projects for fear that they won't turn out the way I hoped.
Especially when it's intended for someone else.
This shawl was full of happy surprises.
It felt like tiny gifts when new bits of color would pop up, even though I was the one who carded them in.
The different textures give the rainbow sprinklings various contexts to shine in.
The last stitch went in today! Now for weaving in ends, blocking, and I think it will come with us to the coast next weekend. Getting some ocean breezes into it seems like a good finishing touch.
