While most certainly warm, it was not quite the tragically romantic look that I was going for. Better stick with a simple top and jeans ;)
This was a fun pattern to knit. Very easy to memorize but not boring. It was knitted with Patons Classic Wool, a nice basic yarn. I am really pleased with how it turned out & with the fact that it is long enough to criss-cross in the front. I added a big wooden button to keep everything in place.
It has one of my favorite animals woodburned onto it, a sweet little hedgehog.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Tien, you are so many kinds of awesome I can't even count. Love the gorgeous shawl, especially as paired with your version of the long flowing gown. Though I do agree you should probably wear some pants when you go out. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe shawl is really beautiful. I love the classy grey yarn, but the button - oh my goodness that is just fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Especially the crosscross, back fastened design. Looks wonderful on.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I think it is just lovely! That button is too wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! That will definitely keep you warm as you wander the moors :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for making me smile this morning ... loved your post. Hmmm, I was gifted a truckload of Patons Classic Wool this Christmas, and I just might join you in channeling those romantic heroines!
ReplyDeleteLovely! The button is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI think you accomplished your vision, even without the gown. This shawl is wonderful. I really like the way it wraps and stays in place with that button closure.

ReplyDeleteAloha,
ReplyDeleteLuv the button! Hedgehogs are so cute, but alas cannot be found in the US.
Where did you purchase the button? I'd luv to get some for my projects.
Mahalo.
I bought the button from fionamacneil on etsy. She has a lot of great buttons and jewelry in her shop.
