The Meanderthal Shawl is complete, as I’m sure you’re glad to know :) The border is finished and a small edging was added.
It’s just a line of single crochet in the rayon multi-colored thread with a small petal at the points of the ripples/lace.
I realized as I was measuring it this morning that I don’t really know what size an average shawl should be because I like shawls to be able to double as coats :) This one is about 60” wide and about 32” from top to point.
There isn’t a pattern here because I literally made this up as I went along - and had a blast doing it. But contrast the planning and plotting of The Lake and the Summer Sky - around 6 months worth - with this, which took about 12 days from beginning to end :)
I also finished this scarf last night…
And it went into the Dulaan 2008 bag :)
So now I’m kind of casting around for projects and I’m kind of thinking something small would be nice :) Socks maybe? Now that sounds like a possibility :)
There’s a new post at The Dye Pot.
...Tea Rose for Two, which is kind of a second take on an earlier dyeing effort.
Chatters is on for tomorrow (Saturday) night! For now, I’ll go with the same hours as before - 8:00 PM - 11:00 PM, EST. Hope to see you there!
No trackbacks yet.
That shawl is just gorgeous! I can’t believe how quickly it knitted up. You’re an amazing knitter. :-)
Woohoo! Chatters! Shawl looks great! Love the colours and watching your creativity
ah, the edging and border on the shawl came out beautifully- really an excellent idea which i have filed away in my ‘lemming file’ for future use-
i will certainly make all efforts to ‘show up’ for chatting tomorrow night- dana and i have an evening ‘event’ to attend (that makes it sound much grander than a baby shower, doesn’t it?) but since i turn into a pumpkin about the time the sun sets lately, i should be around-
stay happy-
Opal - Thanks :) I had to finish it quickly because I was so obssessing over it that there wasn’t room for anything else!
Nat - Well, the colors are partly your responsibility, dear! You sent me that lovely plum Cleckheaton wool/mohair and it just jumped up and down, wanting to be included in this project!
Barb - I love combining crochet with knitting but it can look unsuitable. This time, things worked out nicely.
I’d love to see you at Chat if you can make it. HOpe the shower goes well!
Socks! I vote for socks! Go for it.
Lisa - LOL! Socks are a definite possibility…
