Hamamelis Shawl

May 5, 2010 By Carole

I brought my finished Hamamelis Shawl with me to Frank Harlow Day. I thought the scenery might make for an interesting photo shoot.

Turns out, tent ropes are great for displaying shawls.

I loved knitting this shawl. The design, from Kirsten of Through the Loops, is fantastic. I love that the edges of the shawl are straight instead of scalloped as most of my other shawls are.

The yarn is wonderful. Dream in Color Smooshy is just that – smooshy. And the color is a gorgeous shade of blue.

There are lighter bits and darker bits and I think it will be awesome with a white shirt and blue jeans.

It’s also awesome with lilacs. Just sayin’.

    What a beautiful shawl! Love the color. Must have been nice not to have to block out umpteen points. Did you use a blocking wire through the eyelets on the edge?

    Just gorgeous, Carole! I’m knitting a shawl in a similar color right now – it makes me so happy to pick it up!

    Is that indigo dyed, perhaps? Really pretty, especially with those lilacs!

    Gorgeous shawl Carole. The color made me think of blue jeans as soon as I saw it so I bet it’ll look perfect with them just as you said.

    Oh, I love it. I took my yarn out of the stash to make mine last weekend. Just need to finish up the shawl/stole I have on the needles and this one is next.

    The blue is gorgeous.

  23. Laurie says

    The Hamamelis is really pretty, I will have to copy that, same pattern and same yarn and same color. I just love it. Hope you don’t mind. ?

    It is so very lovely, Carole! The straight edges and versatility of this shawl make me want to knit it right now. Or, perhaps, it is the great job you did!
