I finished this rectangular shawl a few months ago, but I never got around to blocking it until this past week. This is my second shawl to knit, so I think that means I need to start wearing shawls. But it will have to wait for cooler weather and not the 100 degree temperatures we've been having. :)
The Pattern: Dunes
Yarn: Andean Silk by Knit Picks, worsted weight, color "Hollyberry"
Size: 72" x 26"
My shawl came out much larger than the pattern model, but that's because I used a worsted weight yarn instead of the called-for fingering weight. I wanted something with more bulk, more warmth than a lightweight shawl, and mine is just like I envisioned. Happy, happy, happy.

As always, a beautiful job. Love this color too!
ReplyDeleteWow, i really love it. The colour is beautiful and the pattern looks so pretty.
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful. Since I started knitting, I started wearing shawls and scarves a lot - I like to wear my everyday jeans and t-shirt with a nice bright shawl and then I feel a bit more dressed up.
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful!, Great color and design, of course, great knitting!
