FO Friday - Bungay Shawlette

Another FO I've been looking so much forward to showing you! I found this project while looking through test-knits on Ravelry, and knew that I just HAD to make it. It was the perfect match for the lovely Merino yarn I had bought in Stockholm :)


Wish I wore shawls more often. I LOVE this!

This was yet another project where blocking made a HUGE difference! It went from 53x56cm to 66x97cm! The only problem with such efficient blocking is that it also reeeeally highlights all the mistakes I made along the way ;)

Spot the missed yarn-over ;)

Pattern: Bungay Shawlette
Yarn: Araucania Botany Lace
Modifications: None - test-knit :)

  4. Very pretty, love how vibrant the colours are. The good thing about mistakes in lace is most often only the knitter knows they are there.

  5. Even knitters can't always spot mistakes :) I suppose if I looked for it long enough and was a bit more familiar with the pattern, I *might* find the mistake.

    As it stands, I didn't see it. And it's gorgeous :)

  8. Beautiful. I wouldn't have thought to use such a variegated yarn with such a lacy project but the two work together perfectly. Gorgeous!
