Observations: Loved the crispness of the lacy pattern in the cotton yarn. This is a great scarf for keeping off the midges when walking on Mull or in Dumfries and Galloway. I am very grateful to Polly for making this pattern available, and would recommend it to anyone who fancies a "start small, get big" triangular pattern.

Shetland Triangle

Pattern: Shetland Triangle, Wrap Style

Yarn: 3 skeins Venezia COLOR Shade 0150, mohair blend

Manufacturer:Lang yarns

Purchased:Citywolle, Vienna

Needles: Can't remember

Techniques: No new techniques.

Stash or Fresh: Fairly fresh

For: Self

Started: June 2006

Completed: July 2006

Observations:Although I think it's really pretty, I have never had as much wear from this shawl as I would have liked. I think this is because it was never quite as big as I wanted it to be, and the percentage synthetic content of the yarn meant I could never block it out beyond certain dimensions. It's more of a shoulder shawl really. I am a member of the Wrap Style Knitalong Blog
