From Sally — The Feather & Fan Shawl Is Finished (almost)

Filed under: Feather and Fan Shawl — Sally @ 12:28 pm

The crocheted edge is finished and the shawl is happily soaking in a tub of lavender-scented Eucalan — just waiting to be blocked. Here are a few photos of the almost finished shawl.

This one was taken when I had cast off somewhere between a third and half of the stitches:

Here it is in all of its pre-blocking glory:

And here are two skeins of a beautiful hand-dyed 100% silk laceweight yarn from Sundara — my next shawl. The color is a bit darker and deeper than it looks here and because it’s silk there is more sheen as well. It’s really what I call “Kate Spade” red. Click here to see the color a bit better.

  1. I don’t know how she does it, but Sundara produces some fine, fine fiber. I have every confidence that the shawl you’ll make will be just as lovely! Your F&F is divine, by the way – even unblocked.

  2. Ooh! Lovely shawl. I’ve admired Sundara’s silk laceweight (from afar) since Eunny’s Frost Flowers & Leaves shawl. Can’t wait to see yours!
