This time the shawl is large, warm and comfy.
The yarn is hand spun and dyed Cormo sport weight.
I used size 8 needles.
Right off the needles, it would have been useable. It was large enough to make a good shawl.
But the magic of blocking firmly opens up the stitches and makes a shawl with drape which is much more comfortable and attractive. I have used up all my Cormo now. I like making a dent in the stash!
That's my kind of shawl. Pretty but really useful. I can just feel that squishy Cormo from here!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love when I used up stash!!! But, then I like BUILDING the stash too. LOL
I love the color choices!
ReplyDeleteLovely finish. I shouldn't be, but always amazed at the blocking phenom!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I love when things open up in the blocking process. Excellent de-stashing work!
ReplyDeleteVery striking colors! Pretty. Glad I spent so much money on that pattern for your birthday...you've sure gotten good mileage out of it! :-D
