Knitting train arrives at the terminal.
So, eight years ago, give or take a few months, I learned to knit. The longish version is here. Basically, my sister shamed me into learning to knit because she made my mom a beautiful shawl for Mothers’ Day.
I learned to knit so that I, too, could give my mother a handmade shawl.
And finally, I’ve arrived at that point. May I present: my mother, the Sun Goddess in Training:

Beautiful. How did she react when you gave it to her?

Cool Beans!

Wow! That shawl is even better than the knitted privacy curtain!
Seriously, gorgeous work and yarn choice.

I agree, she is a goddess! (I can say this as I have met the wonderful woman who birthed and raised you to be the terrific person you are!

Well. That’s enough to make THIS mother just cry! (and that’s a good thing)
Beautiful picture of a beautiful Mom and a beautiful shawl!

She doesn’t look In Training to me! She looks like she has arrived! And in style!! Great job.

My dermatologist would cringe at the Sun Goddess designation, but the shawl is truly a work of art. I wore it last night for the first time and got rave reviews!

That is a beautiful shawl. And a great picture too, I like how I can see the bits of blue sky peeking through the yarnovers. Nice!

Absolutely beautiful (both the shawl and the model).

Absolutely Fabulous!

I’ve never seen anyone’s back look so happy!
(secretly hoping that my sons do cool stuff like that for me when they’re grown-up…)
