I ordered this skein of Wollmeise a couple of weeks ago, and after a small diversion to the post office, it is now in my grabby hands ;)
It's a gorgeous rusty orange sort of colour, perfect for autumn. I was originally planning to make some fancy socks with it, but as I was putting it away I put it next to a skein of Old Maiden Aunt that has been waiting in my stash for some considerable time...
I love the two together and am thinking of perhaps making another Stripe Study Shawl. I really like the idea of a subtle toned one, after the contrasting coloured one I made before:
It's a pattern I love, and the thing that I love most is that it stays on my shoulders, unlike any shawl or wrap ever *grins*
Gorgeous! Mind you, Did you see Veera Valimaki's latest shawl - I'm desperately waiting for the pattern as I think it's stunning. Just away to find the link for you...

ReplyDeleteThe subtle colors would make a HUGE difference in that shawl. You should do it, it'd be lovely :)
ReplyDeleteThose colors are lovely together! Your new shawl will be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of the subtle tones! It would be perfect for the gray weather!
ReplyDeleteNice yarn. Good plan. Go for it. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh it is so nice to see that shawl again, it is such a gorgeous project and an inspiration too (someday I'll knit one too!). Also, I love the red yarn, I don't think deep reds get enough love.
