khevron and I took a trip to Ireland, during which I purchased a beautiful hand-woven shall in a soft blue and black twill. I loved (and still do!) that fabric very much, but I am not in the habit of wearing a shawl, so I have rarely used it over the years. In recent years I have thought that I should make something else out of the fabric, and in April I finally decided to do so. The shawl was exactly big enough to do a hood and matching belt pouch. I believe that I have mentioned the project here before, but this time I have photos:
