Hannah was in such a good mood on her birthday that I was able to get her to agree to pose with my finished and (finally!) blocked Shetland Triangle Shawl.
The yarn is my handspun and it’s not as light and airy as I was hoping it would be.
And it’s a tad on the small side.
But I’m happy with it, overall. I love the color.
And the pattern is wonderful.
The model isn’t half bad, either.
That model always does such nice work …. as do you. Beautiful shawl.
She’s a great model! What is the fiber? It will make a nice scarf when it gets cooler out.
It’s beautiful, love the color. That’s joined my todo list as a gift for Mom for either her birthday (October) or Christmas.
I agree with Kathy- it will make a nice scarf. Hannah is too cute! Did you get her to sign a contract to model your handknits for you without grumbling? She did get those tickets after all…..
Your handspun is such a pretty color….it will be perfect for over fall sweaters!
Hannah looks like she is having fun!
Beautiful model and beautiful shawl!
That color really is great! And Kathy’s right, it will be such a great scarf. Maybe you should give it to Hannah, it looks so good on her!
The shawl is beautiful and so is the grrl;-)
Those are wonderful pictures of Hannah. She looks so beautiful and happy.
The Shetland Triangle is one of my favorite shawl patterns. Yours is beautiful! I love the color of your handspun.
Very pretty shawl and beautiful daughter!
I love the color! Very flattering to Hannah. 😉
It is beautiful, perfect. So, is Hannah.
Hannah is so patient – I never would’ve done that for my mom!
Your shawl is lovely. Hannah is a perfect model.
Lovely shawl, Lovely model!
(((hugs)))
She’s a great model! The shawl is lovely (but that’s no surprise).
Isn’t she just adorable?! You will enjoy throwing this lovely shawl over something instead of a long, skinny scarf this winter and may find it your most-worn one.
Really – it is just absolutely beautiful. And handspun!! Yumm!
Very cute shawl and you’d better keep an eye on that model!;-)
Gorgeous! And so’s the shawl, too!
You have a top rate model there! The shawl looks lovely.
The model is gorgeous. And the shawl looks great. Beautiful combo. 🙂
Your shawl is beautiful and the color is the best! I just love it. Hannah looks beautiful modeling it.
From yesterday’s post – what a great surprise you had for her!!!
HOLY CRAP that girl is SKINNY! But she does look very nice in the shawl 🙂
Can’t wait to see you! Woot!!!
The shawl is lovely and Hannah is gorgeous!
That’s for sure! Hannah should look into a modeling career! The shawl is beautiful!
Man, why wasn’t I so photogenic at her age?!… 😉
I think the shawl is perfect as it is, but you know, the pattern is so easy you could always knit a second one on bigger needles. I think I may need several Shetland Triangles, actually. 🙂
what a beautiful shawl. The green is great with all the trees in the background.
Beautiful! :o)
Very cute, both the shawl and the model. Hannah is a natural in front of the camera, isn’t she?
Both are stunning!!!
It looks to be the perfect size for a stylin’ young lady.
A beauty and a cutie – you pick!!
Very nice. I really love that color.
I think both are beautiful.
Well done!
They look great together! Now how do you get them apart?
I think it’s a great size – and the color looks great with Hannah’s brown top. Three cheers for 15-year-olds in good moods! Happy Birthday (the 3rd was my cousin’s birthday too – he’s 17)!
That Hannah is one LOOKER. So is the shawl. One of my FAVORITE colors, too. Yum.
It’s so beautiful! It must be such a treat to know that you spun and knit something so amazing. Great model too! She’s so cute.
Both shawl and Hannah are beautiful!
It _is_ little, but it looks great! It looks great on Hannah too – watch out! And congrats on making a shawl out of your own handspun! That’s next on my spinning list…
stunning, both shawl and model!
Gorgeous shawl, gorgeous handspun, and beautiful child! Nicely done all around.
I love the color! She looks like a professional model.
Makes me want to sing “sunrise, sunset…”
Both the model and the shawl are stunning.
okay, so the transition from the second photo (femme fatale) to the third (hysterical laughter) is totally fabulous.
you did a great job sweetie – it’s lovely, despite being small.
I missed Hannah’s birthday, having fallen behind on my blogs. She is a beautiful girl!
Are you certain she’s 15? I mean, you and I are getting old, and forgetful… you should really check the birth certificate, ’cause she sure looks a lot older than that. 😉
I had the same experience with my Swallowtail shawl – my handspun (purple merino/silk) is heavier than I wanted it to be, and the shawl is smaller than I expected. Must be sunspots, or cosmic rays, or something. Still, your shawl/scarf is quite lovely – a Shetland triangle is in my queue.
love the shawl and the model glows
What stage presence!
So, why do you think the handspun didn’t turn out the way you’d hoped? Grist? Twist? Prep? The fiber itself? Sure looks good, and your gauge shows the lace pattern perfectly.
