Ishbel is finished
So, umm, maybe I'll blog more regularly if I post right from Flickr? Maybe?
Just because I'm not knitblogging doesn't mean that I'm not knitting. In fact, I'm so thrilled with my most recent FO that I've been inspired to *gasp!* blog about it!
What's so special, you might ask? Well, for starters, it's a cute pattern. Ishbel, by Ysolda Teague. It's also my first lace shawl. I've knit lace in socks and sweaters, and in scarves and baby blankets, but never in a shawl.
And I'm kind of in love with this particular shawl because it's knit from my very own handspun. I've knit plenty of things with my handspun before, but this skein just amazed me. It's a merino/tencel blend, and not even spun especially well, but it was just a perfect match for the pattern.
I just keep looking at it and saying "wow, I made this. No, I really MADE this." It's freakin' rad.
More photos and such on Ravelry, of course.

Having seen this shawl in person at Rhinebeck, I am totally in love with it, too. Your handspun looks amazing in that pattern! So impressed.

I was able to post 2x in a week when I thought to do it straight from Flickr. A def. improvement, though I wish there was a way to post big photos. Anyway, love your pretty purple shawl!

It's gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, Danielle.
Btw, I only blog directly from flickr now, and it does seem to help my posting frequency. A bit.

When I clicked "next" on my google reader feed thingy I was like "WTF is this? When I did I subscribe to this random blog?"

That is beautiful! There are so many more chops when it is handspun.
