Finished Oslo Walk shawl and stash report

My thoughts are racing with much deeper thoughts I'd like to blog, but I find it easier and more soothingly routine at this time to talk about the work of my hands.  So I'll share my latest knitting finish, the third in the 12 Shawls in 2012 challenge.  It's the Oslo Walk Shawl by Susanna IC.  It's a pattern I enjoyed knitting, using my handspun Blue-Faced Leicester, dyed with Wilton's cake decorating gels to achieve a color a friend called "blurple."

I do love working with my own handspun yarn.  It's never a perfect, even texture, and I like that.  The yarn just feels more interesting as it slips through your fingers, no matter what kind of yarn it is.
