all-merino shawl

Got in the mood to knit a shawl recently and Berocco's Mrs Watson shawl has been on my Pinterest shawl board for a while. I had a lighter weight yarn, so my version is smaller and lighter weight than the full size, worsted weight version. The purple is Malabrigo Mechita in Eggplant and the secondary color is Malabrigo Nube in Arco Iris, so all merino with some handspinning involved. All roughly fingering weight.






The pups make great models, yes?

I expect to use this shawl as a scarf this winter, as we don't get that cold in the Bay Area. The pattern is easy to use and I love this color combination. I particularly like the way it looks with a dark dominant color and lighter secondary color. Many iterations may be coming...
