Would I knit this again? Yes and no. I adore the border pattern, which is why I chose this shawl in the first place. I like the center lace pattern well enough, but if anything, I'd do some sort of hybrid shawl with this border grafted onto the start of a different shawl.
Readers who've been with me since the beginning may recognize this yarn...I'm almost out of it, I swear! I just started my final ball in the last few rows of this piece. I have plans for the remainder that involve a scrap-happy project currently in development. I'm toying with the idea of over-dyeing the shawl in deep blue or black, just because I have these two already and I do happen to like colors other than purple.
I turn around for ONE MINUTE and you've made another shawl! Tsk, tsk.
ReplyDeleteThe purple is gorgeous, though I do understand the desire to not have a monochrome wardrobe. :-P I think it would be equally gorgeous in deep blue!
