While in Arizona, I visited three knitting stores (all I had time and money for, unfortunately!) and bought this gorgeous yarn by Colinette. The model had this silk colorway with a pink mohair, which made it more pink than I wanted because I already have a very pink shawl and while I love pink, I wanted something both dramatic and different from, well, pink.
So I paired this mostly pink silk colorway yarn with a greenish yellow mohair to get this gorgeous shawl that looks like pink sunshine! If you’re on Ravelry, you can see my more detailed notes here.
Here’s the shawl! Isn’t it pretty? The mohair makes it very light and airy, while the silk gives it beautiful drape. I edged it with gold glass beads.

I love it! You can never have too many shawls. My husband thinks differently, but who cares?

Gorgeous! Love the bead work. I crochet, one less hook to hold. :O)
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys! It actually wasn't very hard, but I'm so pleased with the cool effect!
ReplyDeleteSeriously gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful shawl. I can't knit but I use to crochet or use to..LOL
ReplyDeleteYou should pick it up again! I find knitting very relaxing and soothing.

That is beautiful. The pattern looks intricate.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan! It actually wasn't intricate at all. it just looks that way because of the two different yarns I used!
