| Excuse the lack of blocking |
I was so excited to cast on that I started a knit-along over on Ravelry's Juniper Moon Farm Group to keep me inspired and to enjoy knitting this shawl with a fun bunch of friends. Not only were these knitters chatty and supportive; they were also incredibly talented. Some knitted more than one (and two) Amari Shawls in the time that it took me to finish mine.
This was my first time knitting with Manos de Uruguay Silk Blend and it was gorgeous -- soft, non-splitty, and smooth. Perfect for wearing next to the skin, this shawl is a little bit of luxury. I think I'll be gifting this to someone who has a big birthday coming up but I'll keep it a secret for now.
I'd like to knit myself an Amari Shawl sometime later in the summer to enhance my fall wardrobe. Any yarn suggestions?
Gorgeous! String Theory has some awesome yarns
ReplyDeleteOh it's gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteHurray for finishing up projects! It feels so good, doesn't it? Beautiful shawl!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited that it is finished! I'm also surprised by how large it came out, I pictured it smaller but I like it better as a finished object. You should definitely knit it again for yourself! Perhaps in a soft merino?
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful! Congrats on finally finishing.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! It must have been relaxing to knit!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out lovely! Better late than never, right?
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful. I too am just finishing a shawl I started in May. I think we have too many projects on the needles, or that is my excuse anyways!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous - and I LOVE the colour!
ReplyDeleteI don't comment nearly enough but I have been reading your blog for months now. You always have such gorgeous projects.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty- that's a nice size shawl!
ReplyDeleteI think for fall I would go with something with a bit of alpaca. Yum! ♥
Oh it's gorgeous! I want to knit one too!
ReplyDeleteEvelyn, it takes us a while to finish certain projects perhaps because we are easily distracted by brand new patterns that we must try.
ReplyDeleteLOL LOL
hugs
Our mutual friend Susie Davis suggested that I read your blog. May I say I have knitter's envy at the rate a which you finish projects! I love Manos yarns... and I admit, with chagrin, I have have a great deal of it floating about in my stash. I'm inspired to finish... something! Chela
ReplyDeleteSays the perfectionist... I hope you've blocked it by now! It is lovely though - and a nice biggish size too! (As opposed to one of those ones that are only big enough to fit around the neck). I'm not surprised it has taken you a while to finish - look at all the other projects you've completed in the meantime!
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely! I'm sure the secret giftee will love it!
ReplyDeleteit's gorgeous - how about something with cosy possum in it?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shawl!! Hmmm...yarn recommendations, how about some MT? :)
