Last weekend, the weather around here finally took a turn towards autumn, and just in time for the colder mornings and chilly evenings, I finished my big, snuggly Sekamelska shawl. After finishing part 6, I did some math and figured out I had enough yarn for another repeat of part 1. Since the original repeat was pretty small, that was nice to give the pattern more chance to shine! Part 1b worked up pretty fast, despite the long, long rows, and then there was the subject of the border, which was pretty but took aaaages to do, and then it was done!
Isn't it pretty? I am very much in love with the colour gradient, going from lime green, over yellow and orange, into a set of brilliant purples. With all the somewhat complicated patterns, this one took over 68 hours to make, and used 1500m of yarn, but I loved every minute of it and amlooking forward to wearing this all throughout the gray season!

It turned out to be a very nice gradation.
Congratulations on your completion. Despite the complicated weaving process, it is amazing that's it can be completed in 68 hours.🙌
