"Chanel Meets the Shakers" Shawl

Shaker inspired knitted shawl of hand-spun Shetland wool
(wool from sheep at Wild Apple Farm, Ltd. Hudson, NY)





I will be working this season at Hancock Shaker Village. The job will involve costumes. I am slowly getting started. I made this one-piece "Sleeveless Sweater" out of left-over shetland wool from the red ruffled sweater (see by clicking on "Jewelry and Knitting" below). It is surprisingly warm and I really like how it hugs the body, stays put and doesn't flop open or loose, or interfere with whatever I am doing with my hands.
