I blocked the shawl overnight, and here it is.
The specs:
Decadent Fibers "Marshmallow", undyed, 2 hanks @ 315 yards.
This is a blend of 80% alpaca and 20% merino.
Pattern: Evelyn Clark's Shetland Triangle from the book Wrap Style.
Needle size: 6, 32 in circular, but a 24 in would have been enough.
I added 2 repeats of the main pattern (10 instead of 8). No problems at all, anywhere in the pattern; it's well written.
The shawl came out slightly heavier (I imagine) than the one in the book because they used fingering weight and I had sportweight. But I still think it came out OK, don't you?
I knit. And I cook, write, take pictures. All for one low price.
