Isn’t that a beautiful name? It just flows. I-sau-raaaa.
I’m in love with this shawl. I have worn it over and over since I blocked it in January.
I added little gold beads all along the edge.
The yarn is absolutely scrumptious. It’s a dark brown with undertones of bluish gray. Awesome dye job. I’d never worked with Spirit Trail yarn before. Must. Repeat! I only had about a yard of yarn left when I was done. For a second there I was nervous that I’d have to rip back a row or two just to bind off!
The pattern was very easy to follow, although I admit that at first I though the lace was wrong because it’s a staggered lace. But I went with it and love the result.
Can I tell you that I’ve wrapped this shawl a million different ways around my neck, tucked under my coat, twisted, etc. and when I shake it out, it still has the original shaped from when I blocked it? In fact, I took these pictures after wearing it half a dozen times. See how well the lace holds it’s shape? LOVE that.
Cristi and I are working on a design together. It’s been a blast so far. Stay tuned for more deets!!!

Inbox me when the pattern is ready, you know I have my Rosi G. collection. Great job. I love the color.
I’m not a shawl person but dang that thing is pretty!
Like all of her patterns, this is stunning!
Lovely shawl, and of course, my first impulse is to examine it closely enough so I can try to get a feel for how I’d reverse engineer it into crochet:)
