The colors you chose work great! I’m glad you love the end result, that’s such an important part of the process when one finally allows time to make something to keep and not a gift for others.

Plugging away on this pastoral place shawl. Switched yarns, and am pretty sure I’ll have to buy more in this colorway to finish the whole thing. Woe is me

Ooo…I like this color. I was so confused for a second - what happened to the pink? lol…did you start over? The lace part makes for interesting texture. I’m sure it’ll look different after blocking but it’s looking pretty cool rn!

Blocking will look way different, you can’t see the lace at all right now.
I got screwed up in the pattern in the sunset colors and had to frog in my frustration lol.

@sheepBlue , it’s got such a nice texture! Can’t wait to see what it opens up into.
My Sunday shawl is pinned and drying! I was hoping to wear it on Easter - looks like I’ll be able to.

Gorgeous! It’s absolutely visible but subtle which, I think, goes great with that yarn.

I need another shawl like I need a hole in the head! But, seeing all of these beauties makes me want to do another one!
I am scrapping my angel wings shawl because the designer put out so many corrections after I started and I am not sure where the mistakes are going to cause me to mess up further into the rows…I am not inclined to start it all over even though I think she finally got a “final” pattern. So frustrating…anyway, I know how loads of neutral yarn so your shawl looks very inviting @tendstowardschaos ! I also have lots of colorful yarns leftover from various afghans I have … yours turned out so beautifully!

Thanks everyone! I love the neutral/not neutral nature of the yarn. It all depends on the light.
Here’s my next project; I want to do sort of a neutral brownish ombre with a pop of blue lines. I need to draw out how I want to do the striping before I start though…

I made a shawl (well several) a couple of years ago when I got on a shawl pattern-finding kick, as well as a yarn cake kick. I gave one as a gift and the other ine has been languising with no owner.
I have a friend who would love the colour way, so I may frog it and do a new version. She is a bigger lady, so I think the design needs to be longer across, where this one is quite long down the point of the triangle.
Does anyone have pattern recommendations for a good large sized shawl? I have two cakes of yarn in this shawl.

Are we talking a solid colourway or something with multiple colours? Some patterns go better with solid, or long colour changes, or what have you…
