First Shawl

[gshall]

While in Medina OH, I went into a knitting shop and fell in love with a skein of yawn. Though I have never purchased yawn that expensive before I bought it. The owner of the store told me one skein would make a scarf - but since it was a knitting store the only patterns they had were for knitting. I really wanted to make a shawl, not a scarf, so my search began for one I could make with 470 yards. I finally found this on the Lion Brand website - it's call Sweet Scallops Shawl. I didn't follow the patten exactly because it called for more yarn than I had, and in a heavier weight. But, I am very happy with my results.

That yarn store has been here for awhile now and I have yet to check it out. Mostly because I've been trying to bust my stash a bit. Now I'm getting a strong urge to go thanks to you. lol

 

Your shawl is beautiful. Love the colorway of the yarn. What brand and type of yarn was it, if you don't mind my asking?

No wonder you fell in love with that yarn....it's BEAUTIFUL! What kind/color is it?

[warmfuzzies]

Gorgeous! WHAT is the name of the yarn you used? I've tried the LB pattern you used, but I could never get the hang of it, but it's just me; I have trouble with LB patterns.

 

Your work is beautiful.

Gorgeous shawl!!! I fell in love with that stitch pattern the 1st time I saw it. Now, please tell us the name of the lovely yarn.

It's beautiful, I love it.

I feel so bad - I don't know! What I can tell you is that it is hand dyed cotton and each of the yarns in that series are named for a famous American woman. Medina is about an hour away, or I would go and get the info. Maybe if Belinda makes it to the store, she can check it out.

Wow! And that's your FIRST shawl. You must be glad you did it in good quality yarn, that pretty pattern, and all your effort are worth it.

[Startigerlily]

Well, now that I have a mission I'm going to have to make a trip into town. How bad is everyone's need to know about the yarn? Do I have to go ASAP and report back, or can I wait until after the first? If I wait until after the first I might have a bit more spending money. Otherwise I just have to pet the pretty yarn and drool. lol
