FO: Kleio

While it doesn't look like it from the pictures, we're in the midst of another snow storm here.

That meant no driving up to Mom's to get pictures of the finished Kleio shawl. With Dave at work, I had to do it myself (probably for the best, he's a crap photographer.)

It's very tricky to get pictures of yourself wearing a scarf or shawl. I do have a tripod, and probably could have set it up with the timer, but that's just a tricky. (Thank goodness for digital though - no wasted film!). I should probably invest in a bust form... of find a photographer friend who lives close by.

Back to the shawl though.... as you can see, and as mentioned before - it's a very shallow shawl, making it much more of a scarf than anything else. It's very cozy around the neck, but it doesn't sit easily on the shoulders and doesn't cover much when worn as a shawl

The colours are beautiful (Majesty and Velveteen Rabbit) and work so nicely together. The Slinky Cat, as always, is lovely to knit with and blocks beautifully. I'm starting to think I should have found a third colour and knit them into a Colour Affection instead...

I do love the lace pattern in this one though, and the knit on edging adds a lovely feminine touch.

I added a few beads to the lace because... well.... because why not?

But despite all this, I'm still not in love with it, so it's going to be tucked away into the present box for now. Someone on my list will love it, I'm sure.
