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!
