FO: Revontuli Shawl
Pattern: Revontuli/Northern Lights Shawl, pdf pattern here
Yarn: Colourdrift BFL from the lovely Maylin at Tri’Coterie
A simple but very effective pattern for a rainbow scarflet of a shawl. The yarn is lovely and soft, though it’s actually a little more muted in real life. It still makes for a nice wearable rainbow for brightening up greyer days, though.
I think a close-up of the rainbow may be in order:

Gorgeous!
How long did it take to make?

Thank you! I think much of the credit goes to the dyer for creating such a fabulous yarn, though - it was a joy to knit with.
It took about 3 weeks, on and off. I think it could be done more quickly, though - one skein of sock yarn made for a smallish, shoulder-shawl rather than a full-size one (although, I do now like the idea of doing another one with two skeins - imagine how striking!), and it’s a very simple pattern, it just had other things competing with it for my non-work time.
