Oh how I love thee...............
Yarn: Sirdar Luxury Soft (125g)
Hook size: 3.00
Time to complete: 12 hours
...my most worn and most loved crocheted item to date and I am bit late in sharing it here, I have to admit.
As soon as I finished this shawl I didn't even bother blocking it because I wanted to wear it straight away.
It sounds strange but as soon as I started this shawl I feel in love with its lightness and texture straight away, which is probably why I got this done within a matter of days and I am seriously thinking of doing another one in a different colour.
I do think that the yarn itself helps a lot as well as it is the most wonderful to work with and to wear: Sirdar Luxury Soft. It you get a chance to work with this yarn, DO it - as Sirdar have discontinued it snap it up whenever you get the chance. It also has a great running length, which makes it perfect for projects like wraps, scarves or shawls as you only need two balls for an good sized shawl.
But I digress, when I just now had a few days off work, I decided I should really block this shawl to make the pattern stand out more, and BOY am I glad I did, because I love it even more now.
It will probably get an outing today, as Mr P and myself are off for the day to make the most of the sunshine.

ReplyDeleteI love those projects, the kind that sort of just fly off the needles (or in your case, hook). Although I personally think that cotton is one of the most enjoyable fibers to work with. Looks amazing, thanks for sharing!
