Sadly, as I only finished last night, I can only share blocking pictures and not the fully modelled version, but as far as I'm concerned, it still counts ;)
I love it *grins* I love the shape, I really enjoyed the pattern and the colours are so gorgeous.
Actually, this picture is probably the best representation of the colours:
It took me ages, but I think I managed to capture the wonderful shades in the yarn perfectly - makes a nice change as it is usually pretty tough!
I've mentioned before, but just to recap, this is yarn I bought in Norway. I went for colours that reminded me of the rocks and water of the fjords - it's almost a shame there's no green in there as the country really is beautifully lush, but these colours work so well together I think green would have been out of place.
The yarn is quite textured, it's not a smooth yarn but blocking has removed the scratchiness and now it just feels lovely and rustic.
Overall, I'm really happy with how this project turned out *smiles*
You know the Friday drill - head over to Tami's, Natural Suburbia and Wisdom Begins in Wonder . Have a wonderful weekend :)
Wow! The wingspan is even more gorgeous in those colours! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that is just GORGEOUS!!! LOVE those colors so much, really makes me want to knit this!! Smiles from South Africa :)
ReplyDeleteIt is so gorgeous! I haven't blocked my Wingspan yet because it is a gift for a Christmas. I am tempted to make another one for me though because it is such a lovely pattern. Your yarn is fabulous, really classy.
ReplyDeleteSeriously beautiful. Well done, this pattern shows off that yarn perfectly. X

ReplyDeletePerfect. That is all. :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful and I love the colors. It's one of my favorite projects as you don't know exactly what the colors of your yarn is going to do until the project is knit up. Thank you for sharing it.

Absolutely gorgeous choice of colors, beautiful shawlette!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that blocking removed some of the scratch from the yarn. It's really pretty. I'm eager to check back and see it in all its glory in your modeled shots!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love the look of your Wingspan! For some reason, the fact that the stripes of color don't match up with the sections is giving it a really cool look- completely different from the usual.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. It's interesting how different the colours appear in the photos.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I think that pattern is best with long color changes. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Love the color with the subtle changes.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness you put me to shame, I just can't seem to find time to pick the needles up lately ... not good when I sort of write a knitting blog!
