Another trip to France, another shawl...

...another river cruise, in fact, courtesy of Great Rail again. A relaxing week sitting on a riverboat looking at the scenery floating past and eating lovely food. Comfortable trains there and back - what more could one ask for?

During the week I all but finished the shawl I started a couple of months ago. Did the last few rows on the way home and cast off on Sunday, when we were back.

The finished 'Silverleaf' shawl
So it's had its soak in Eucalan and is now happily sitting under a towel to dry. This was taken before the top set of towels went on, but the contrast isn't great because I've put a pale grey shawl on top of a white towel.
