in the dying daylight

Feather and Fan Shawl
Pattern: feather and fan comfort shawl
Yarn: My own handspun merino – don’t know about the yardage, but I’d say about 600 yards of heavy worsted.
Needles: Denise US 10.5
Finished: January 15, 2006

Love, love, LOVE it! It’s really quite big (about 74″ across the top and 30″ deep) and super cozy. Three of the colourways I dyed; the yellow/green one I bought.

    Wow, lovely shawl. Those colours really look warm, especially on a cold day like today! They really emphasize the patterning too.

    Its so beautiful. Did you follow the shawl pattern you linked to exactly? Or did you modify (aside from the heavier yarn choice)? I think this is my next project, after I finish the shawl I’m working on, of course!

    I LOVE the shawl! I plan to start the simple yet effective shawl as soon as I decide what to use for it. I love that particular shape. Your dying is great too. I really like the colors you chose, they are some of my favorites, especially the last bright green.

    How nice to be able to wear something you’ve knitted and even the yarn is your own product! You’ve finished in a good time to wear this winter.
