My Color Affection Shawl is finally blocked and I got home early enough to take some outside photos of my shawl. I am very happy with the way it turned out and eventually plan on making a second one.

Now that the weather is getting cooler I decided to wear my beautiful shawl today. Not even a full day with it on and already messed it up. I did not notice that one of the ends got caught on my purse and when I went to put it down it pulled one of the stitches.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone photo.

I am sure it can be fixed but it is just the principle of it! Why can't I have something really pretty that I do not mess up on the first day.

Oh well, I love it anyway and I know it will get lots of use. As usual you can get all the details on this project on my Ravelry project page.

Until next time, Happy Knitting!
