Sandness by Gunrun Johnston,
published in Wool People 5,
has to be one of my top
knits. This sweet pattern is a
whopping 13 pages long and
very well written, even showing
you photos for the cast on.
I used Malabrigo Sock Yarn
in Ravelry Red on a size 6 needles
and blocked aggressively since
I wanted it light and airy; a shawl
to lightly cover your shoulders
on a cool night, something
pretty.

This shawl is a gift for someone
very special in my life, but I have
plans in the near future to cast on
another one, this time for me.

Wow Tracey- it is so beautiful! Love that you chose red for the color- it goes so well- what a lovely shawl you made. The patience you had for all that detail- simply stunning!
ReplyDeleteWowzers! 13 paged pattern? That sounds so daunting yet as a former teacher who used to type out a 6-8 sub plan, I understand. You knitted one beautiful shawl. That is certainly something to be proud of. Its recipient will be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteStunning. Simply beautiful. I love it, Tracey!
