Stonecrop Shawl Complete
Last week I finished the shawl and quickly soaked it in wool wash and fingered it out to block. I decided against pinning out the shawl because it's cashmere and cashmere is fragile. I do love how soft the yarn is, but I think aplaca and wool silk blends are just as soft. The pattern was interesting to knit, there were three main charts, two for the edgings and one main central panel. I had a time of it remembering where I was on the charts since they do not align. Kept me on my toes!! Of course, if I would have used a tool such as a sticky note or a pad of paper then that would have solved my problem, but where is the fun in that?? and life lines??? no way, I like to live on the edge. Luckily I did not have to unknit much if at all. I love laceweight shawls to wear because they are light and airy. This shawl does match the dress I will most likely be wearing to the wedding. I might be wearing this shawl to the wedding as...
