The Oslo Walk Shawl has been finished, washed, and blocked for quite some time now but today is the first time I've had it on long enough to get a photograph.
On the whole I quite like it. It's soft, not scratchy, the beads add a nice bit of sparkle, and the non-colour goes well enough with most things, but there is one little detail about the design that I don't care for...
The ends of the shawl end rather bluntly in an unfinished looking way. In these pictures I'm wearing the shawl draped in a way the minimizes that problem, but if I leave the ends of the shawl hanging it is quite obvious. It's an issue that limits the ways I can will wear the shawl so I doubt I'll get much wear from it.
