Peacock Feathers - Complete!
Detail shots:
I love it!
Stats:
Pattern - Peacock Feathers Shawl by Fiddlesticks Knitting
Yarn - Zephyr wool/silk
Needles - Addi Turbo 4s
Started at the end of August 2005. Geez, it took me a long time to finish this. The ever increasing rows were disheartening, but I love how it turned out. It's pretty massive, but I'm tall and large, so it works for me. I didn't make any modifications to this project.
All my entries on this topic.
All my photos of this project.
I also got my Weavette Loom and made my first square last night.
I like how the Lorna's Laces sock yarn I used came out in a plaid pattern. I made a couple mistakes with it, but the next one will be better. It was really fun to make.

That is stunning. I'm working on that for my mom right now, in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock. You're right -- the ever-increasing rows really get to you after a while. I'm at somewhere around 300 stitches, and it seems like the end will never come. Thanks for the inspiration :)

How fabulous! The edge is stunning and you must have the patience of a saint to block out with that many pins! Well done.

Wow, that is an epic shawl! Absolutely fabulous.
Also, I love how the LL turned out on the Weavette... perfect plaid! I have a little Weavette as well... a fun little diversion.
