I LOVE it.
Pattern: Ishbelby Isolda Teague
Yarn: Tosh Sock, in Clematis, 1.5 skeins
Size: I made an extra-large version. The stockinette portion in the large size has 48 stitches more than the small version, so I did mine with 48 stitches more than the large version. I worked the lace charts as follows: A, B, A, B, A, B, A, C, D, E.
As I was knitting it, I was concerned that the color variation would obscure the lace pattern, but I don’t think it did at all.
It’s such a wonderful purple color, I think it will look dynamite as a scarf with my black winter coat. I hereby declare this project to be a success.
So hey, want to see a cute kitty picture?
I thought so.

Oooooh, very beautiful! And the kitty is cute. I didn’t let mine on my Ishbel. It’s not that I don’t trust her, but she unpinned my Shetland Triangle when it was blocking!
Oh yes both shawl and cat are truly gorgeous 🙂
I love the subtle variations in the yarn colour, it looks lovely in that lace pattern!
The shawl is beautiful! I love the color too. I think cat FO pics are the best!
Love the shawl! And thanks for wrapping the post up with a cuuuuute kitty picture! 🙂
