Happy Birthday Mom (a little late)

Last week was my Mom’s birthday and I did a little secret knitting for her!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday Mom!

This is the Luna Moth Shawl from Elann.  I knit it with Blue Sky Alpaca’s Alpaca Sport Weight yarn, about 5.5 skeins.  I loved knitting it and loved the yarn (a lot) and am so happy with how it turned out.  It knit up surprisingly fast and was a joy.  And now it is so wonderful to see Mom wearing it.  It is a beautiful lilac purple color which is one I knew she would like.  The funny part is I told my dad I was making her a shawl and he could make her a shawl pin, and he decided to make her a butterfly and I hadn’t even told him I was making a Luna Moth pattern!  Plus, just as he made me a bunch of wonderful shawl pins for christmas he made her many as well.

So beautiful!  Happy Birthday Mom, wear it well and I hope it makes you happy.  More photos from me of the shawl.
