I had my eye out on this shawl since I started following Julie Crawford’s blog, knittedbliss. I was just looking for the right color contrast. I wanted stark simplicity. Think IKEA meets cold winter day. So imagine my glee when I came upon some yarn at a roadside stand. It appeared to be a heavy fingering/light worsted. In a loverly cream and flannel grey. They yarn is nubbly and wonderful. The pattern is great and easy to follow. I would definitely reccomend wet blocking if you have enough room. I didn’t have enough yarn to make a full-size shawl, so it turned out to be more of a shawlette, but I still love it!
I also did this in 2-3 days, but I stayed up 'till 2 in the morning. I don't know if I would reccomend that.
