I've been quiet here lately, with quite a lot going on.
I retired at the end of the year, went back to work temporarily in March, took several trips, and finished up the circular sock machine book and video.
All the while, I was working on shawls. I'm putting a nice shawl collection together for a new book and video.
Starting with something simple and quick, a self-fringed shawl in two shapes - a deep triangle and a long, slow triangle. The secret to a great fringe is to "lock" it by reinforcing the last stitch before the fringe.
A couple photos:
This one is "Shawl in a Ball," and takes one ball. I made several out of that yarn - it's so much fun to see what the colors will do. This brown has metallic golden accents.
This is Caron Latte Cakes, takes one ball, and surprised me. I thought I would not like the way the color changes along the miter, but I do like it! It makes the shawl much more interesting. Unfortunately, this yarn is discontinued.
The peach shawl is the deeper triangle, and it's huge. I made it with some worsted weight pure mohair.
