My current work in progress:

1. Wispy Cardi, by Hannah Fettig, knit in Tempted Lovely Grrl in the "Renewal" colorway, on a U.S. 5 (3.75mm) needle.
2. To-Be-Named Sideways Shawl, my own design, knit from Madelintosh Pashmina in the “Posy” colorway, on a U.S. 7 (4.5m) needle.
3. Myriad stealth projects.

Ready for Prime Time

Ready for Prime Time

The Printemps Shawlette pattern is complete and available for sale on Ravelry, here.

Like Miss Woodhouse, it’s a “more than a triangle shawl.” You work double the increases on the outer edges as you do on the inner edges to get this shape.

The wingspan is about 72″, and it’s about 26″ down the center back.
