After I accidently pulled the needle out of 1/4 of the stitches, I decided to bit the bullet and rip the Sheep Shawl. As you can see
progress was
slow. Although I enjoyed watching the pictures develop I knew I wouldn't enjoy wearing it as much. I want a lightweight shawl that will work for spring or summer. Meet Kimono from
Folk Shawls.....
I finished a few more repeats since I took the picture, but I'll spare you repetitive blob pictures. If you want to be wowed you need to travel over to
Snail Spirals and see Sue's
Urchin Shawl! She charted the original design, knitted the fantastic shawl, and then dipped the finished shawl into the dye pot. What an undertaking!
I love most of the shawls in Cheryl's book - I've made several, but not all on the wish list and I LOVE that pattern. It will be perfect for cool indoor AC time in the summer.
ReplyDeleteI Love that! You are such an encouragement to me. I'm spinning laceweight shetland right now and haven't decided on which shawl in the book it should be. I keep changing my mind. Since I'm spindle spinning the yarn, I have plenty of time to decide.
