For my birthday in November, Paeivi gave me this beautiful Johannah shawl pattern as a birthday gift! I love her designs, and was very happy casting it on. This is one example of casting on for a shawl, knowing full well, the chosen yarn would not be enough. That's why I introduced another yarn early on, but as it turned out, I ran out of this left over yarn (from the Queen Ann shawl) as well. In the end I could only do two repeats of chart 3, and to use up every little bit of both yarns I cast off with both held together. Well it seemed like a good idea.
But I really like it the way it came out. I put the finished shawl into the washing machine and it came out great, a little softer, slightly felted, just right! (That's why I thought my cardigan would go through the same magical process, and NOT shrink, well...).
This shawl is large, even though I could not do the full size, and it's warm. I like the Evilla Artyarn. It's rough, and it smells a little of sheep, but in a good way.
Thank you, Paeivi! It gave me great pleasure to knit this lovely pattern!

So pretty! One of these days I must get serious about knitting some lace.
Wow! That's gorgeous!!! I don't think I've seen this pattern before. You've chosen the perfect combination of yarns. I love the way your colors enhance the pattern.

Lovely indeed! It just looks as it was ment to be the way it came out. Great knitting - again! Have a great week!
Wunderschön - schon gefaved und gequeued.
Das Muster hatte ich schon vorher gesehen, aber da war es mir nicht so verlockend erschienen. Ein Paradebeispiel dafür, was tolle Garnwahl und tolle Fotos ausmachen.

What an incredibly gorgeous shawl. You've talked about it but until seeing it I had no idea how lovely a pattern it was. The yarn combo you used is perfection.
BTW, I know you and others put things in the washing machine but I just don't have the courage to try it :)
Wow! Your colors are stunning! That's one beautiful shawl!

Where do you buy your Evilla yarn from in the Torono/Newmarket area?
