Last shawls of 2012

I completed my 12 shawls in 2012 and I am now well into 12 shawls in 2013.

The final three shawls for 2012 are:

The Holden Shawlette - this is a lovely small shawl that I knitted using Malabrigo Finito yarn.  This yarn is so soft and was a wonder to knit with.  It is 100% merino.  It took just a bit of 2 skeins to complete this project.

The Song of Hiawatha - this shawl was a kit that I purchased from Blackberry Ridge.  It was fairly complicated, but it know up nicely.  It is 100% wool (unspecified), and not quite as soft a handle as I really like.  But the shawl is almost breathtaking - it would make a lovely wedding shawl.


The last shawl for 2012 was the Dorothy Shawl from KnitPicks.  It came as a kit, but I did not like the colors of the yarn, so I substituted my own color choices.  I used Claudia hand painted merino and KnitPicks Stroll Tonal which is 75% merino/25% nylon. 


It was wonderful to have a goal knitting all these lovely shawls.  Now into 2013!
