It's 48 inches square. I think I would have liked it to be a little bit bigger.
It's not quite large enough to wrap around and have a casual tie at the front.
It is made of my own handspun, a 2 ply, laceweight, wool/mohair.
Here it catches a few rays of fall sun. These two pictures of it draped over my spinning wheel are the most accurate colourwise.
Wanna see it close up?
once again, drool. magnificent. i wannabe a knitter like you when i grow up ! (if that ever happens)
ReplyDeletegorgeous! love it. :)
ReplyDeleteMarlene, your shawl is so beautiful! the multiple designs are eye-catching. Long ago I knit a set of couch pillows that had a leaf design in it. You are one fantastic knitter!
ReplyDeleteYour shawl is beautiful. I'm working up to a bit lace project and I am very inspired now :-)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I can't even image how many hours that must have taken!
ReplyDeletewow mom, that looks awesome! I can't wait to see it in person!
ReplyDeleteWOW - very pretty!!! Great knitting AND spinning! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job. Wonderful that you are able to spin the wool to make such a lovely shawl. I have had that pattern forever, but now, I am encouraged to make it. Yours is lovely and looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing! And what a special shawl to be knit from your own handspun. Mine isn't really large enough either to comfortably wear, so most of the time, I use it for a lap blanket, then I can always look at the pretty stitches.
ReplyDeletebeautiful! and the fact that you spun the yarn makes it even more so.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! What an accomplishment..
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning job you've done. I'm just about (but not quite) speachless!
ReplyDeleteSo stunning that it's inspiring. what lovely work you have done. wow!!!
