My Hannibal-inspired shawl, cast on during “The Wrath of the Lamb” and knit over an eight-week post-finale mourning period. The pattern (the Quadratische Decke Shawl, on Ravelry here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/qd—quadratische-decke-shawl) looked fittingly beautiful and likely to make me cry.
Shawl features knife-like shapes of twisted stitches, a pair of mesh lungs (perhaps removed while still breathing?) nestled above floral ribs, floating above teeth trailing ragged bits of scalp, knit in an alpaca silk yarn in a deep, flesh-colored pink.
