Ta Da! The shawl that I've been working on is Fringed, which is a DK weight crescent shape shawl with ridiculous amounts of fringe.
I used a few full skeins and a few scraps to knit this one up. The pink (Duren Dyeworks Serenity DK) and copper (Cephalopod Yarns Traveler) yarns were leftover from other projects while the blue (Fonty BB Merinos) and cream (SweetGeorgia Superwash DK) were full skeins. The blue is actually a fingering weight yarn I bought on my trip to Paris, which I held double.
This was definitely a TV watching knit. Garter stitch with basic increase with a few rows of YO, K2TOG to break things up. What really makes this shawl is the color choices. I loved that these were all sunset colors.
This knit up long and fairly shallow but blocked huge because it was knit on US 8. I set this aside to work on my Lillian Cardi but it was really easy to get back to.
I found this especially fun because I played with all the colors in the fringe. The lengths are all uniform but the sections of colors are all different. Only took me about 2 hours at work to cut and attach the fringe, much faster than I thought it would be. I'm going to be overrun with shawl by the time fall comes around in November for Cali. -- Sierra
This is sooo cool!! I love the colors you chose and that fringe is crazy fun!
ReplyDeleteI loved that they were all from stash! I've been trying to stash down and these just flowed together perfectly!
DeleteI have a dear friend who loves to fringe all of her finished shawls :) Yours is beautiful and I think it puts the finishing touches on your pretty shawl.
ReplyDeleteI think the shawl would have been kind of boring without the fringe, the fringe really sets it off and makes a POW piece!
