While I was up at Mom's today dying more yarn - I took advantage of the opportunity to get some shots of my latest frozen leaves shawl
As mentioned - this was knit for a colleague who is currently undergoing chemotherapy for bone cancer. I knit it in Dale of Noway
Svale - a
dk weight cotton/viscose/silk blend. The
dk made it knit up very fast and I like the nice large leaves.
It was a true stash-buster, using all six skeins I had. I'm glad to have it gone - while the drape and weight is ideal for a shawl, it's terribly
splitty. I still have 9 balls of red still in the stash - and it's hard to say what I'm going to do with them.
This is the fourth frozen leaves I've done - and each one has been a little different. This is probably the closest to the original pattern, though I added a centre stitch and modified the edging a bit. Finished size is about 68 inches wide and 34 inches long - a nice big shawl to wrap up in.

Beautiful! And I love the drape.
That is beautiful! I've not done that pattern, I do have a shawl on the needles, but it's only about 3 rows in (done from the outside edge). I need more knitting time.
It's beautiful. What are those white things in the ground in your photos?

It is beautiful. What a pretty color too. I hope it gives some warm hugs to your friend undergoing her treatment and wish her all the best in her fight!
It has turned out so beautifully! It's sure to give some much needed comfort!
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Wow, I can't imagine doing a lace shawl that quickly, even in DK. I still have not conquered charts yet and in fact am signed up for a one on one lesson today to try to figure them out. We will see who is smarter, the chart or me!
That is really lovely and the colour is so pretty.I am sure that your kind and thoughtful gift will be much appreciated by your friend as she undergoes treatment.
