Spring Shawl – It’s Huge!

Finished.  After a month of picking it up and putting it down, it’s finally done.  And much more beautiful, and bigger, than I could have anticipated.

It took a good day to block and dry, and was too big for my blocking board, so I had to break out the yoga mat so it would fit!

Waiting for this to dry after blocking. It's so big that it wouldn't fit on mats, so out came the trusty wii fit yoga mat! I'm so pleased the weather is gorgeous because I want it to HURRY UP AND DRY ALREADY!! You can get the pattern for this via my website, it's free! #crochet #spring #freepattern #malabrigo

I’m just in love with it.  The colour, the texture, how soft it is, it’s a complete package.

And here’s the cutest little photo bomber ever:

I used Malabrigo Silky Merino in Madre Perla (four skeins) that I picked up from houseofyarn.nl.  This shade is sold out, but there are lots of other beautiful ones to choose from.

I used the Spring Shawl pattern that I posted here and added a row of double crochets and picots for the edging because I found the original pattern finally!!!!
