This latest shawl is called Morlynn and was a challenge for me.
As you can see it is very large
It took 150gm of Jitterbug velvet Bilberry and approx 100gm of Alpaca silk.
It was a challenge and I had to tink a few rows here and there on the final section:(
I almost gave up and counting the stitches in each section of pattern got a little monotonous
But now it is finished I am glad I carried on. I used my new set of blocking wires that I swapped for one of Mr Mog's latest projects(hackles for blending fibre). I was so pleased I had the wires as it really helped.
And before you ask no it isn't for me. Not sure what to do with it now it is finished. May swap for something?

OH MY! It's gorgeous!!! I love the colors and it's just simply beautiful. I wish I could make something like that, but my skill level isn't up there (yet).
Stunning!
What a gorgeous shawl!
My friend, Blue, from the US brought me a skein of laceweight for my birthday...it has a ridiculous amount of meterage/yardage..in excess of 1000...Haven't dared even wind into a ball yet.
Gosh that looks like a labour of love (hearts!). I don't know how you produce it all so fast!
How beautiful! It looks so delicate. I'm impressed!
Stunning!!

I love it. What would you consider swapping it for?

i wish i were that good~i am in the process of making my first one for my sister~very basic just decreasing at the end of each row. no idea how its going to turn out but seems to be going okay (fingers crossed!)
This is really beautiful and worth the effort? Why aren't you going to keep it? The colours are wonderful.
