Straw into Gold

Finished the Moonlight Sonata beaded shawlette yesterday - can’t believe it took just one skein to make. After I’d unraveled the fringe, it looked like a pile of seaweed

but then I took a hot steam iron to it, and it turned into this amazingly beautiful, drapey fabric. The fringe smoothed out and the whole thing is just spectacular.

Had to wear it right away – even if it was just with a little tank and capris. Maybe that’s what so terrific about this accessory – it works with casual or dressy outfits. On to the next one!
