The Shawl Picture

The picture I choose to represent the fibre fest was choosen for several reasons. Firstly that is my pretty daughter Megan modeling a shawl pattern I submitted to Magknit (a now deceased online knitting magazine) The pattern is the Squiggle shawl and is knit from several different yarns from Sweatermaker Yarns. These yarns are all hand dyed and the bulky yarn is also hand spun by Judy Maclean of Courtenay, B.C.. The picture is taken on a very hot day at Rebecca Spit on Quadra Island.
I felt the picture was perfect to represent the fibre fest because of the scenery in the background, the carefree flow of the shawl in the wind and the fact the yarn was dyed and spun on Vancouver Island.
