FO Anglaise

The anglaise shawl is finally done; it took longer than expected because my wrists are still acting up, but better safe than sorry as the saying goes.
This was another simple knit. Because the intended recipient is tall and large I wanted to get as much shawl as posssible out of the 4 skeins my mother bought. And because my mother is particularly fond of sideways knitted borders, that was a must too. The most difficult thing about this shawl was deciding when to stop working the body and start the border, as I wanted to use as much of the yarn as possible. In the end my guesstimates worked out very well as I only have 2 gr yarn left.

Anglaise sjalet er færdigt. Det tog lidt længere end først beregnet, da jeg stadig har vrøvl med mine håndled.
Mit udgangspunkt til dette projekt var få så meget sjal som muligt ud af de 4 nøgler garn min mor havde givet mig at arbejde med. Den dame der skal have sjalet er nemlig stor, og jeg ville heller ikke kunnet have bruge en rest til noget. Min mor kan rigtigt godt lide kanter der er strikket sidevejs til, så det skulle der også være. Det sværeste var at beregne hvornår det var tid at begynde at strikke kanten, men da jeg kun har ca 2 gr garn igen, gik det egentlig helt godt med det.

Design: my own
Yarn: 98 gr Kid Seta by Madil; 70% super kid mohair, 30% silk; 210 mt/25 gr
Needles: 4.5 mm bamboo circular
Blocked Size: appr. 210 cm across the top, 105 cm down the middle
To like or not: scrumptious yarn that I didn’t pay for, and an end result which is pretty much what I was aiming for, so this one’s to like.

Such a lovely shawl! I love the simple yet stunning border. You should seriously put the pattern up for sale.

Marianne - mange tak, og ikke på nuværende tidspunkt. Men jeg er før blevet spurgt, så måske jeg skulle overveje det.

Arlene, Sue, Sally - thank you, that’s very kind of you!

Goodness, i’ve never been a fan of knitting, shawls, or the like, but this shawl is beautiful! It looks as light as a feather, and the design, so fine! I think you put most of the knitting shops I see in Malaysia to shame!

Good job! It’s almost too lovely! I am missing my lace needles but I just have no inspiration to pick it up again.
