This is the follow up shawl to my last one-I was playing around with the idea some more, trying to get it to sit on the shoulders even better. This one lays really nicely, and stays put even with arm flapping, due to it’s overall shape. It’s too big for white sheep to really be able to model it well though, so I had to borrow a mannequin at the local yarn store.
The two yarns are very different-the main aqua color yarn is a 50/50 merino silk yarn in the color ‘Mariana by Anzula, while the lighter yarn is 100% milk protein fiber from Bellatrista. When I ran out of the first yarn I was worried about trying to match it, so I decided to go with something entirely different, and I think it worked well. People at the yarn store liked it so much they asked me to write down the pattern, and gave me assurances that they would knit it if I did write it up!
This is the fifth shawl I’ve finished this year, though one of those I did start last year.
