Pattern: Shetland Triangle Shawl from Wrap Style
Yarn: Handmaiden Silk Maiden in Peridot, 1.2 skeins
Needles: US 7
Notes: This pattern was such a joy to make. I had no issues with the lace pattern, and the yarn was just beautiful! I knit 9 repeats of the main chart, 1 more than the pattern called for. I could have knit more, but I wanted a smaller shawl. I left off the last rows of the edging. I would absolutely make this pattern again – it was so quick and easy to keep track of that it hardly seems like lace! I would recommend this project to new-ish lace knitters – other than the edging it really is the same repeat every RS row. I think this will be lovely this summer – now all I need is a summery white dress to go along with it!
Wow! Didn’t you just start that? Looks great and such a pretty color.

Love the shawl, the green colour is gorgeous with your hair!
I hope you don’t mind me asking, but.. is it your own?? Because if it is, I think you’re really lucky to have such beautiful red hair.
(My blonde hair comes out of a bottle, if it helps. Heh.)
Gorgeous! Great color on you…it looks so elegant!
Oh wow it is just gorgeous. I’d never seen what the lace pattern looks like up close before!
That looks lovely on you. I so want to knit something lace, I just need to find the right pattern and swatch my Lana Borgosesia Cashwool!
That is simply stunning! You can see the softness of the yarn and the dewy romantic color popping right out of the picture!
Wow…you have really inspired me. I have never knit a shawl or lace before, but this one is so beautiful and you say it’s easy. I can hear my needles clicking now….
Love the shawl!! Very beautiful and just the right size.
[...] If you want to see a really pretty version of this shawl, check out StitchyWitch’s – it is gorgeous. I’ve got to save up my pennies and get some Handmaiden yarn – I’ve been itching to try [...]
it is beautiful! i don’t know how you finish all these projects so quickly!
[...] also fell in love with Sea Silk in Peridot, a color I’d seen pictures of online and suspected I would like. I did. A lot. I’m not sure sea green and silver are great colors [...]
It’s so lovely! You really make me want to try the yarn : )
Being a Shetlander myself, I’m very impressed with your shawl – beautiful! Now thinking I’ll knit the same shawls for my bridesmaids to wear at our winter wedding!
