Fantastic pattern with other beauties in Grace Anna Farrow's pamplet A Fine Line featuring 6 shawls "in bold stripes with lace weight yarn". Really hypnotic designs and gorgeous color combinations. I hope to make a few more of the shawls in the the booklet. The yarn is Isager Spinni 1 which I have seen at my LYS for ages but never tried until now. I look forward to using it again. I felt it was medium soft in the hand but makes an extremely soft fabric. Spinni 1 is lace weight and comes in beautiful heathered colors and makes fine, even stitches.

ReplyDeletelove that shawl - we just got a huge shipment of spinni yarn at the shop yesterday, along with a new pattern book. (maybe I need to try one!)... enjoy your december!
ReplyDeleteKristen, I love your new blog header! So sweet! And this knit is amazing. I love the combo of greys iwth yellow, and the gradation of the grey. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI want this AND the boots :-) can you share the brand? Laura
ReplyDeleteThank you! The boots are three years old, made by Clarkes and I got them at Footwear Inc., a small chain of shoe stores in California, one is in my town. They are SO comfortable, I can wear them all day and not get tired feet. They have great support and are cushy inside. Still, I would like them replaced and am looking for another comfy Clarkes boot but have had no luck so far.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the boot brand. I have a Clarks shoe store in my local mall and did see something like them. Laura
ReplyDeleteYou make my day when you make a comment!
