Vintage Bouquet Shawl ~ A Finished Knit

Vintage Bouquet Shawl | Red Pepper Quilts


A knitting update today. This shawl was started and finished during my trip to Europe in August and represents hours of airport knitting (including more than 8 hours of delayed flights) and plane and train knitting; a most relaxing way to pass the time.

Vintage Bouquet Shawl is a relatively simple top-down knit with regular increases throughout the main body of the shawl and a lace edge with just enough interest and complexity to challenge a beginner knitter with some experience in basic lace knitting.

The Yarn: Madelinetosh Merino Light
 in Antler and Espadrilles

I have again used my favorite yarn - Madelinetosh Merino Light - a hand dyed single-ply fingering weight yarn in 100% superwash merino wool. The yarn is super soft (and an ideal weight for shawls) and is available in a great range of saturated colors. Choosing colors is as always a highlight!
