Hoodie Shawl -- Jo's Pride



Photographs, finally!

Way back when I joined Woolgirl's Victorian Writers Club. This is a series of knit kits inspired by Victorian literature. Sometime in April I started reading Little Women by Louisa May Alcott to get ready for the kit that would arrive later in the month. When it did I was not disappointed. I eagerly began knitting Jo's Pride, or as I called it, my "hoodie shawl". I love lace and I learned a lot about incorporating beads into it. Knit, knit, knit. I finished. Shawl sat around for a while before I blocked it. Then it sat around until today when I finally asked Rene to help me with a photo shoot.

These are the results. It's nearly 100 degrees outside. I was sweating and suffering, as was my photographer! Now he's laying on the couch watching a movie. I'm going to get some iced tea and join him.

I love my hoodie shawl!
