Remember months ago I wanted to make a mermaid shawl with five skeins of yarn and I tried to make this lace shawl and it just didn’t work for me? I remembered that yarn today and I might have found the perfect pattern on Ravelry.
This is the Sea Swell Shawl by Stephen West and it’s a gorgeous fade with five colors, which is exactly what I wanted, and it’s a semi-circular shape, which I wanted, and it even has a wave pattern, which I didn’t even KNOW I wanted! Plus after making my Dotted Rays, I’m excited to make another one of his patterns. That one was so fun and addictive, and so much squishy garter stitch. My only caveat is that for some reason I thought my mermaid shawl should have some delicate lace too. But mostly I think I can’t resist how perfect this is in every other way!
Stunning colours, perfect for this project 🐋
That’s a beauty! I’ll have to add it to my queue:)
Very pretty! I think your color choices will be great for this shawl.
Lace, schmace, this shawl is perfect. If you decide you want lace with it you can always layer another shawl with it.
Whoaaa…shawl layering! Mind blown!
I’m very creative with wool at the moment, as I refuse to turn the furnace on even though we have snow on the ground.
WHOA. You are hardcore! I never could have lasted this long without turning it on, but I also have an old house with very drafty windows.
Oh I’m so glad to hear you finally found the right pattern! I love that moment:)
Me too!! Now I just need time to knit it…
That will be stunning
That is going to look amazing in your colours, how perfect is that little wavy part!!
