Long term shawl


This is a modified version of the 22.5 degrees shawl pattern by Martina Behm. What's not to love?
  • It works well with variegated  yarns
  • It can be easily modified (size and edging)
With this project I can go long bragging about deep stashing, planning and/or process vs. product knitting. But that will be...uhhm...misleading. The facts are:

2012: bought yarn variegated yarn during the flashy Eat. Knit. Sleep Black Friday sale wishing I would get the 100% off discount. Wishful thinking!

2013: cast on during Christmas vacation.

2014: forgot project as soon as I got home from said vacation. Cast off mid year.

2015: decided it was about time to block & wear the shawl.


Details and mods on the project page. I really like this simple shawl!

    This beauty deserved all the bragging! Stunning knit. What an amazing feeling it must be to have it finished after all this time. :)

      Thanks Brandy! Sometimes it gets difficult for me to find a good pattern for busy yarns...but I think this pattern and the solid border did the trick.

    This is a beautiful shawl! Perfect pattern to show off the variegated yarn, it's what makes it looks that much more special.
