Small, muted, unassuming, but with beauty in the detail.
The making of a shawl is a more contemplative passtime than any other form of knitting. There are no concerns of gauge or fit. Just the beauty of the yarn and the steady unfurling of the pattern as the rhythm of the stitches takes over.
My second Simmer Dim - the first was the colour of rain, this one grew afterwards. I hope it brings a gentle smile to its new owner.

I agree shawls are the best kind of relaxing knitting... (can you have too many though?).
This is beautiful Ali.

This is glorious. I have the pattern on my to-try list, but I don't have such pretty yarn to try it with.
And Monica, no you can never have too many ;)
