This is the Azzu Shawl, that might be a gift for one of my friends. I haven't decided yet.I really like the endless stockinette sections and the eyelets, but was disappointed with the shape. I really expected it to be narrower, and I am still trying to figure out how to make that happen.
It really needs to be blocked, but I haven't really had the time to do that yet.
The yarn was part of a recycled sweater that I dyed for a project. I had to dye more yarn at the end, in order to finish the last few rows. I also omitted a section from the pattern because I did not want the shawl to get any deeper. Pre-blocking-it is about 17" deep and 64" long. I used a size 8 circular needle, and the yarn weight is probably sport.
Head over to Tami's to see more FOs this week!

It looks good, I don't think 17" is too long although I guess it will grow a bit when it's blocked. The second lot of yarn looks like a border in the first shot, certainly not out of place :-)
ReplyDeleteI like it a lot. It looks lovely unblocked. I bet it will look amazing blocked.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors! I agree that 17" isn't too long (unless the recipient is very short).
