Diamond Fantasy Shawl
Well, the shawl I started while we were in the Lake District in March got rather put off thanks to the Swallowtail knitalong, but here she be, finished and blocked:
A detail shot, which also gives a better idea of the colour.
Pattern: Diamond Fantasy Shawl, by Sivia Harding
Yarn: Handmaiden Sea Silk, in ‘Paris’
The yarn was an absolute pleasure to knit with - silky soft and with beautiful sheen. The jade areas are wonderfully irridescent, although I think if I buy it again I’ll choose a solid or semi-solid shade to really make the most of it.
The pattern took a bit of getting into, but again was great to see taking shape and makes a really pretty smallish shawl. Very happy with this knit, although I’m buggered if I know what’s driven this sudden interest in shawls!
