Eliina





Pattern: Eliina
Yarn: 2 skeins Dye Dreams Luster Sox
Needles: US7 Addi Turbo Lace
Notes: I knit this exactly as written except used SSK instead of SKP. I love the size of it. I know small shawls are all the rage but there's something to be said for a big shawl you can wrap yourself in. After blocking the yarn has wonderful drape.

I really love this shawl. I think I need to make one. In red too! I guess I just want to be you.

Lovely! I love the color and the slight variation from the handpainted yarn. Did the color running stop eventually?

Zeila said...

Oooh, Jess!

Just gorgeous - wonderful color, and I love the netlike edging.

Karen said...

Red!
Not green, or purple, or both!

(And I just finished a maroon scarf -
will wonders never cease?)

So fun to hang with you the other day.
Knit on!
