So there’s a new Jane Eyre movie, which I’m so dying to see, should it ever come to my benighted viewing area. In a featurette, Jane can be seen wearing this shawl.
another view:
In glorious Ravelry tradition, there is of course a KAL (knitalong) for projects inspired by this movie costume garment. I’m knitting To Eyre, a pattern Carol Sunday whomped up in no time flat. I so want to be her. My Eyre shawl is being knitted in Cascade 220, smoke blue, on size 8 needles. I’ve just started it today, and it’s going well.
In other good news, I took a few good pictures of azaleas and such before last weekend’s storms made them look a bit raggledy. These are on flickr, and in full size they are suitable for 1600 x 900 windows wallpaper. please feel free to grab them if you like them.

Please have a Happy (insert spring festival of your choice). For me it’s Easter.
The shawl looks lovely, as do the flowers. Happy Easter to you!!

How did your To Eyre shawl turn out? Which version did you knit–1 or 2? Was it easy? I’m a beginner-intermediate knitter. Thanks.
