Iron Skies
The advent calendar shawl didn’t get finished quite according to schedule. Instead of being finished for Christmas, I managed to get it done by Easter.
The shawl tagged along when we went to see Iron Sky in the movies, and some of the motifs remind me of zeppelins hauling meteors, hence the name.
