Leafprints Shawlette

After two weeks on the needles (small, very, very small..size 3 circular needles), the pretty blue Leafprints Shawlette by Anne Hanson is completed.  YEA!  (Note to self: purchased here)


The picture above shows the shawl after completing Chart A, and ready to begin Chart B.


The edging (shown above) was clever in its execution.  There was a bind off of two stitches every fourth row.


Its picture was taken this morning after being washed and blocked yesterday.  Here is the link for Soak, a product for bathing woolen objects.  It could have been further stretched since its scallops look like more of a wave than a tip.

Another note to self: ensure that at LEAST 400 yd of fiber is on hand to make this shawl.  I will make this again.

This is the Leafprints Shawlette shown on Patternfish ... that lucky mannequin.
