I’ve just finished clue two (of five) of the Mystery Shawl knitalong and very much like how it’s shaping up.
If you remember I was thinking of knitting it with three different colours of beads, and with the pattern becoming clearer I swapped out the orange seed beads for larger coral Swarovski pearl beads (I’m lucky enough to live 10 minutes walk away from here).
I tried to incorporate the copper beads, but they seemed a bit too blingy for what I’m intending to be an ‘everyday’ shawl and not a glitzy evening affair. My plan now is to try and find one more place for the coral beads in the bottom lace section of the shawl, and also try to incorporate them in the lace edging which there apparently is along the top.
Next clue is due in about five days time. If you’re interested in joining the knitalong, it’s not too late. Full details here (Ravelry link).
It also looks fabulous next to our new Missoni duvet cover.
Ooh, that look nice, very delicate and intricate.
I popped over because I just posted a photo of a bug I found in my garden and I though the Minx would like it because it looks like it has a cute face and a hat on :0)
woo~very beautiful!
