So beautiful, beatifully executed, and beautifully presented in picture and word! I love how the color blends with the trees outside. You have created a lovely bit of nature.

It is absolutely beautiful and the story of the inspiration and work that you put into this project makes it extra special. I love when knitting somehow transends just "craft" to become Art. You have achieved this in the lovely balance of inspiration, yarn, pattern and shawl. Well Done!!

Ooooo, Kiri is lovely! I have that pattern printed off too, for use with some Kidsilk Haze from Lorraine.

Boo about the stomach ulcers. I've had those, and it's good you're on meds. Take care of yourself!

Looks absolutely divine! The colors are wonderful. Can't you see a Fair Isle in there?

That looks fabulous. I'd say you captured that painting so well in the dyeing. It was the perfect pattern for that yarn too.

Beautiful shawl! I love the way you photographed it too. Sorry to hear about the ulcers. I hope they go away quickly!

DeeAnn- Quite, quite stunning. I LOVE that pattern by the way.
Polly had the smarts and wherewithall to figure out that the pattern should be adaptable, to make it longer or shorter.
Rowan doesn't get it sometimes. It takes a blogger to make things clear.

OMG, that is the most beautiful shawl I have EVER seen! What an inspiration. What a work of art. What a joy to look at. What an envious, jealous, good-for-nothing knitter I am. If only I could get sick enough to knit one too ...

that is just beautiful. I love that yarn. Process vs product? the best of both worlds!
