Never fear, it is now completed:
It grew as it was knitted. Finished size: 90" by 51". Specs are here on Ravelry.
The Eliina Shawl is a free pattern download available by designer Lankakomero. It is available here.
It will stay on a living room chair nearby the fireplace. The Debbie Bliss cashmerino wool that it was knit with will be comfy and soft as a throw this fall and winter. (That cashmerino wool is often used in high-end baby accessories.)
Oh my goodness, did that turn out just beautiful? YES MA'AM! I love it! Good for you to un-do and re-do to make ONE gorgeous shawl! Love it! Have a blessed day my friend! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! The colors you used are absolutely beautiful! Can I ask you how you cast yours off? I just finished knitting the last row on mine and the pattern says to do a crochet cast off and now I'm stumped since I know absolutley nothing about crochet! Any suggestions? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi, Heather. Thanks for your nice comment about the Eliina Shawl.
ReplyDeleteI finished it with a simple crochet edge, but you could finish it any way you desire. A new cast off edge that I especially like can be found here that Paula the Prairie Piper uses:
My Favorite Edging for Nearly Everything
Knit to the next to the last stitch. Yarn forward and leave it there.
Slip last stitch.
Turn work.
Knit into back of first stitch.
Then continue to slip over that stitch which you have knit into the back, creating the bind off.

Good luck on your finishing!
