This used to be my waiting room project. Since I usually prefer reading, this came out when I was too nervous or too ill, mentally or otherwise, to actually concentrate on reading. Which led to ten years between cast on and bind off.

This is the Hitchhiker by Martina Behm, knit on 3.5mm needles with Lana Grossa Meilenweit Cotton Stretch. The yarn is discontinued by now, which is a pity since I realized lately that I wouldn't mind wearing more shawls made from this yarn. It's stretchy and machine washable, also doesn't mind a tour in the dryer without significant loss. Since it's cotton, it also is easy on the skin and useful for spring and summer when a woollen shawl would be too warm, but without is too cold.
