Bain de Soleil

This shawl was a sample knit for the local yarn store. It uses three different yarns, though sometimes it’s a bit hard to distinguish the two pinks. The yarns (and pattern) were from Biscotte Yarns, the first one is a speckled 85/15 blend of merino superwash and nylon, the second is a sparkly 95/5 blend of merino and stellina, and the final is 75/25 mohair and silk. The shawl had some interesting design elements that I hadn’t seen before, like the big red ‘V’ in the center. I like the picot edging, but my was it a pain to block!

I don’t think Grumpy sheep looks quite as grumpy as usual-maybe he actually likes wearing pink.
