Travelling Woman Shawl – FO

I must say, this pattern was a lot of fun to knit, but once i memorized the pattern it became a little repetitive after the 6th lace repeat. Mind you, it was MY crazy idea to do 11 repeats of the lace ;)

I loved loved loved this colorway but it did nicely stain my fingers and my needles a lovely dark brown.

Once I finished blocking it, I realized how huge the wingspan was. I was actually kinda blown away! lol All I know, is that my grandma is gonna be able to really snuggle up with it. I can’t wait for her to get it….

I couldn’t actually hold it end to end and not have it droop so I used my tree and some clothes pins :)

    It’s lovely :)
    I suppose there’s worse colors for fingers to be stained. Hopefully they weren’t expensive needles?

    Wow the yarn you choose is absolutely gorgeous!!! But how come did it stain your fingers and needles?!?!?!?!?! That’s knida weird no?

    thank you Julie!!!

    Ariane: I thought it was wierd too! maybe because to get the really dark brown the dye had to soak longer? i know close to nothing about dying yarn so that’s about all i could guess.

  7. Very pretty shawl! The colors are warm and cozy. I’m sure your grandmother is going to love it!

    Keep up the great knitting! =D
