Garden Gate Shawl

1o hours in the car.....and what do you get? Another shawl pattern in the making. This is a basic short row half circle shawl. Knit from the bottom up with a pattern from Nicki Epstein"Knitting on the Edge" (Yes, those are bobbles). The short rows are done in garter. I used Poems by Wisdom Yarns -- 3 skein s -- 327 yds total to make it work. (Ended up with only a few yards left)

Rav Page: Garden Gate

Red Rock Canyon Shawl

This will be for August.

Pattern: Abyssal

Yarn: CPY Meringue (note: athough this has been D/C -- you can still find it. It is great to work with. Wool with a bit of stretch built in. It has a bit of texture to it, but still shows off lace & cable patterns. I have gotten some at LYS --when I travel-- and also computer shopping & ebay.)

Color: Ember Glow

Needles: 10.5US

******

This shawl is from the bottom up. 4-5 inches of a "feather and fan lace pattern" and then short rows to finish up. The original pattern has two types of yarn -- fingering and an alpaca.....but I think this is one of those GDM (gauge doesn't matter) projects. I think I will have to start a catagory in my Ravelry library for GDM projects, because lately, I seem to enjoy using yarns which were not originally intended!! I think this will take about 3 - 4 skeins (123 yds)...or somewhere around 369 - 492 yds
