This shawl uses the Armorique pattern by EclatDuSoleil. Again, I used some of my stashed Wollmeise, but this time in a 100% superwash sock yarn in the colour Sabrina. The Mister had a lot of problems capturing the exact colour, but he tells me that teal is always an absolute bugger to get correct. So these photos show the shawl to be much bluer than it actually is. It's really a very green teal - that colour that a stormy ocean gets down at the South Coast in the middle of winter.
You know what I mean.
Doing the leaves on the last row was a risk, as they were took a lot of work and I was sure that I was destined to get two leaves from the end and run out of yarn. In the end I had about 2 metres of yarn left, so the risk was definitely worth it. Plus I think they give the shawl a totally unique look, almost bohemian. But not old-fashioned!
The work in those leaves was well worth the effort. They make the quilt extra spectacular!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not old-fashioned! Another lovely shawl and excellent usage of the Wollmeise! (love your skirt too!)
ReplyDeleteOh, it looks great - and the leaves are perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe leaves are stunning, well actually the whole shawl is.
ReplyDeleteWow Michelle, you really do find the perfect patterns and the perfect colours! I really, really love it.
ReplyDeleteLovely shawl. Love the colour even if it isn't quite what it should be!
ReplyDeleteIt is absolutely gorgeous and I love the colour (I imagined it more green!!)
ReplyDeleteThe leaf border is lovely. It was obviously meant to be with a perfect amount of yarn!
