The other one of the small shawls promised for my co-worker Marjaana is my fourth Ishbel. I think the madelinetosh tosh sock in the colorway Duchess works particularly well with the pattern. The fourth time around it was a quick knit, and this small version of the shawl only used up 270 meters of yarn, anyway. Maybe one day I will knit the larger version, but at the moment I have so many other shawl patterns in my queue that a fifth Ishbel will have to wait. It's one of those insanely popular patterns on Ravelry, and I guess I have no basis for questining the popularity, having contributed my own fair share of projects.

Very nice! =) How difficult was this to make?
ReplyDeleteAs lace shawls go, it's a pretty easy pattern. The lace parts have both charted and written directions. A good pattern for a beginning shawl knitter, I think.
DeleteI can't think of a pretty combination than that pattern and that yarn. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLove that color. I think Duchess is an apt name for it. I understand the addictive nature of Ishbels. I've worked on 3 within the last month.
ReplyDeleteReally gorgeous colorway! I love that pattern!
