American Beauty Shawl







Time to show my latest shawl, another mystery shawl from Badcat http://badcatdesigns.blogspot.com/.

Andrea designed this beauty and shared it on her blog over a few weeks. I used Kaalund Enchante yarn in Poinsettia colourway. It's a lace weight silk yarn. The photos aren't really good . They show the shawl blocking, detail of the bottom of the shawl, and back view on a willing model . It's beaded which was a lot of fun. If you're a member of Ravelry http://ravelry.com you can see more details there (I'm Piecepatcher).

I want to tell you about the great patchwork/quilting my sister Lynn is revelling in. She's taken to designing and the ideas are coming faster than she can create...and the creations are wonderful :) It will have to wait till next time though!
