Periwinkle Aeolian Shawl

What an absolute pleasure it was to knit this shawl! It's the "Aeolian Shawl" designed by Elizabeth Freeman and published in Knitty Spring 2009.

What made it so fabulous to knit is the yarn....Luscious Lace yarn from Yarn Addict Anni.

Anni sells lace and sock yarns she has dyed and this is my favourite. The Periwinkle colour is fascinating, appearing blue or lilac depending on the light and the surroundings. I used Matsuma ceylon beads in lilac colour. They gave the shawl just the right amount of drape without being heavy.

I'm still trying to find a willing model for the best photos!
I haven't worked out how to move the photos to where I want them. The first photo is the shawl blocking.

Cheers
