It has been at least a month since I downloaded Susan’s Spring Things Shawl pattern. I had the yarn picked out of my stash for it but hadn’t found the time to begin. This was the week.
I’ve been planning the embellishments, beads and shawl pin.
The yarn is my hand dyed alpaca / silk, knit on a size 5 circular from Knitpicks. Great pointed tips but VERY slippery. The beads will go into the border partly to give it some weight. I found a perfect match. It is much smaller than I figured it would be. I probably should have gone up a couple needle sizes. Blocking will tell. There’s a long way to go.

Very pretty! Is that one of Leslie’s pins?
Very pretty shade of blue!
That is going to be soooo pretty. Where did you get the shawl pin?
Wow. The shawl is beautiful. I love the colors!
I love the subtle color change in that lace pattern.
Pretty match of beads and yarn! I think it will block out bigger than you think.
I just downloaded it last night. I’m thinking of that being the shawl for my fall-colored singles. Not sure about the juxtaposition yet, though.
Yours looks lovely. I’ll do beads too, if I do it.
It’s so pretty. I love that color and am interested to see the beads.
Beautiful beginnings to the shawl. I love the beads and the shawl pin too.
A perfect match of yarn, color and pattern !
You might be surprised when you block it 🙂
Perfect! Nice work all around! Can’t wait to see the border…hurry up and knit faster!…but then again, good things take time…
As always, lovely! Love the pics a while back of your walk in the woods too. Even the scat!
