Sorry people, it is just too cold to be taking outside shots currently! Although there is a hint of green showing through the back door, it's in the 'minus' category, temp-wise.Pattern: Multnomah
Yarn: Malabrigo Silky Merino in Teal
Revisions: I chose not to incorporate the F&F pattern into the 4th and 10th repeats of pattern
Not usually a 'fan' of the feather and fan lace pattern, I surprised even myself by being drawn to this shawlette. The F&F pattern is sooooo reminiscent of something someone's grandma made them in an afghan -- except in this case. It's clean, pretty, fun, classy and a little sassy, too!
This shawlette is so versatile. On Sunday, I wore it to church wrapped around my neck front ways, as a scarf, seen below. After taking off my coat, was feeling chilly, so I just reached over for my little shawl, slung it around my shoulders and was snug as a bug -- not to mention the obvious, that it looked fabulous and the knitter sitting behind me, audibly gasped!
Off to soak!
The yarn bled a LOT during soaking!
I've got some of the yarn left over and am thinking a Meret for me is calling my name! It will have to take a number, though, as I've got a few other things on the go at the moment :)BTW, I'll be doing some baby knitting in the blue, brown and green colours for the end of April...!

It is indeed QUITE beautiful! Love! :)
Your shawl is beautiful! I've been contemplating knitting Meret and I appreciated reading your notes from your last blog post. Happy New Year!
That is really pretty! I may have to think about making one of those. You have to love someone audibly *gasping* at the gorgeousness of your knitting!
I love wearing shawlettes that way (wrapped around the front). It looks great on you, the colour really suits you!
