that is just BEAUTIFUL! would you say it's a hard pattern? I'm tempted, but I've never branched out beyond basic knitting.
What a beautiful shawl, Laura - and I love the colour, too. You're so clever.
Thank you, Margo and Caroline!
The pattern is easy and uses only a few stitches: knit; purl; yarn over; knit 2 together; slip, slip, knit; and slip one, knit 2 together, pass slipped stitch over.
None of those stitches/techniques are anything fancy, and the pattern is fun to watch as it emerges. And every other row is just a purl row.
Beautiful, beautiful... I love this. Your mother will be lovely in it, I'm sure.
That is such a beautifl shawl. How talented are you!
I would never have the patience to knit something so intricate.

Laura, I know those stitches. Now I'm seriously tempted.
Oh, this is lovely! And such a rich color of purple. Beautiful work.
Your mother will love it! It is SO beautiful. I love your new "knitting/sewing" room too. Have a blessed day :)
