So it's not gone as quickly as it might if I'd concentrated on it (probably my mum, who is a) a faster knitter than me and b) only works on one thing at a time, would be able to finish one in under a week while I've taken 3 months). It's done at last though. The yarn stretched to 20 feathers and would almost have done 25 but there wouldn't be quite enough for the cast off row.
And Bristol University Botanical Garden was the perfect place to take pictures of the finished product.
I think this is going to be one to wear with only neutrals just because it's a lot of colours to handle, but oh goodness it is soft and warm and two total strangers said they liked it while we were out so I'm marking it down as a success.
Vital stats:
Pattern: Pincha Shawl (20 feathers)
Yarn: Devon Sun Yarns Sprightly Sock (% Merino, % Nylon) from a colour club subscription box
Needles: 3.25mm HiyaHiya bamboo circulars.
And now on to a pink hat in merino handspun.
