Not another shawl of the same design, yup! - Design F213 Mink

I've enjoyed spinning but I'm happy to be back knitting again, another shallow triangular shawl of the same pattern as last time but this time I am using some of my own handspun that I spun a couple of years ago.

Its really nice and soft , its a blend of Corriedale Wool and Tussah Silk.  I chose to use some brown beads that I've used before, Toho size 6 in shade 83, Metallic Brown Iris.



I love the dramatic effect of blocking, how a scrumpled up piece of knitting becomes the most beautiful smooth and drapey shawl.


My daughter is modelling for me again and as always the shawl will be available in the shop until someone buys it.
