I started this shawl with about 2 #'s of Shetland raw wool.
This is a shot of the shawl from the back before blocking...38" x 38"
These are shots of the shawl after blocking...50" x 50".
I could have stretched it more, but I wanted it to stay close to elbow length.

The pattern can be found in Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitting Workshop
and in Knitters Magazine Shawls and Scarves

ReplyDeleteI dropped by to say thanks for the comment on my blog. And wow! I'm so impressed with your spinning and knitting. This shawl is gorgeous. It's so lovely blocked. Kudos!
ReplyDeleteInteresting factoid about this shawl. I wore it to a Dickens fair in a mizzle (that's a misty drizzle of rain) and it sort of reblocked itself into a smaller shawl. Probably the size it likes to be. It's so warm and cozy.
