I got so caught up in year-end and new finished object posts that I almost forgot to show you my last finished object of 2008: Shetland Triangle.
Pattern: Shetland Triangle from Wrap Style
Yarn: Cherry Tree Hill Supersockin a mill end that I got from my knittyboard secret pall way back in March 2007(thank you fiberfool!)
Made for: Myself
Worked on: July 12, 2008 – December 31, 2008
I started this project way back in July, right after I finished knitting the DPP sample. I cast off on December 31, and took a picture of the unblocked lace in the last rays of sunlight in 2008.
Blocking works magic. Bonnie at Blue Peninsula did a great post on blocking lately.
I am very pleased with the way the Supersock holds lace patterns. Check out the crisp little points. I will certainly use Supersock for lace in the future.
In all, I am very happy with how it turned out. It was a very boring knit (which can be good) because I made it at a much smaller gauge than called for. I chose this pattern for this yarn because I thought fir cone lace would be perfect for this fir colored yarn.
I haven’t exactly mastered the artful draping that shawl-wearing seems to require, but I’m working on it.

Beautiful yarn; beautiful shawl. I wear mine pretty much like the stereotypical “little old lady” with the point straight down my back. But sometimes I get wild and wear it like a scarf…

Pretty yarn and gorgeous shawl! I normally wear my shawl like scarves, wrapped around my neck.

Gorgeous! I think the pattern is perfect for that yarn – gorgesous colors, and it really is beautiful.

Looks great! Work that shawl a different way every day–one way that looks cute is to put the point in front and wrap the ends around your neck and back to the front.

So pretty! And the perfect thing for a cold day at the office. I never wore shawls until I started working in a place that’s cold, cold, cold!

The shawl is lovely! I love the closeup shot and the color. And, I completely understand the artful draping thing…how do they do it?
