I've used a needle to tidy up those thead ends nicely and I think I've done a good job of it.

Now on the next section.

Can't wait to see how all those colours will sit together. 💜🩷💗

That was my #shawlography by @westknits from 2021 which I knitted as a gift to my mum. The colours I had then were quite autumnal 🧡💛💚🤎🩶

But this year I'm looking forward to the #kaleidoscope MKAL using a different colour combination 🩷💚💙🩵💜💗 by @b_sylvestra

Are you ready for the @westknits MKAL? 🩵

What are your kaleidoscope colours? 💚

I can't wait to cast on tomorrow. 🩷

Thank you @botanicalyarn for the beautiful kit of my favourite colours. 💜 by @b_sylvestra

It's ready. 🥰

This is the virus crochet shawl.

It has been a meditative experience, a total imersion in the project, watching how the colour changes gradually throughout.

The yarn is Scheepjes Whirl with the delicious name Sherbet Rainbow. I've had it in my stash for a while but I'm sure it's still available in all good yarn shops. 60% cotton and 40% acrylic.
