I have been remiss in sharing some of my completed shawls, so this is a bit of a catch up post. You might remember this shawl that I gave a glimpse of earlier called moss covered:

The pattern is called Pogona by Stephen West. This is my version (moss covered), done in handspun PigeonRoof Studios: Merino/Cashmere/Silk yarn. This pattern is a gem, but now I’m finally able to show you how this yarn glows.
I also have a better photograph of the other Stephen West pattern that I’ve knit so far called Daybreak.

[folded in half twice]
Again, I adore the shape. My version was knit in Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool (brown) and some of my handspun, and then overdyed merino/silk yarn (pink). This shawl has made me see the color pink in a new light.
And then there was the shawl that flew by too quickly. It’s hard to put down cleverly constructed pieces, as they tend to whisper in your ear that you simply need to see how it all ends, much like a good book. I adore good books as I adore well written patterns. And this one is in a class a bit it’s own. Grass Stains:

[to snuggle in]

[to wrap around]
The very striking Stripe Study Shawl by Veera Välimäki, knit in the lovely Siren Two Sock yarn green gradation kit by Pigeonroof Studios, as well as Wool2Dye4′s natural colored MCN Fingering and some of my handspun PRS yak/merino. I don’t think I need to go into how much I enjoyed knitting my Grass Stains version, as I think it shows in the shawl.
I have more to share, but I want to be kind to those of you on slower internet connections. So until then, happy knitting!
