fo: Tuscany Shawl
Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2008 at 11:13 amCategory: Tuscany
I’m very happy with this shawl. It drapes beautifully and has enough fabric to cover my arms. The gold thread in the yarn is visible but not overpowering.
Pattern: Tuscany from No Sheep for You, by Amy Singer
Yarn: Blue Heron Rayon Metallic – Sport Weight
Color: Sandstone
I only had one large skein of 550 yards, which means I had to stop knitting the shawl early, but I’m glad that was the case. This is the right size for this kind of yarn.
All in all, it was a good experience and a happy product. I’m already forgetting how eager I was to complete this shawl and leave those long rows behind.

Lovely! LOVE the shawl and it’s color and also how great it looks over the teal dress!

That is beautiful!
I wandered over from Ravelry, the rav/rev group. A few years ago, I made myself a simple robe in similar fabric to yours - I just draped it, that’s how simple it was! - to officiate a wedding.

I’m impressed! I’m afraid if I tried draping an alb it would end up looking like a toga!
