Many of you will remember that at the beginning of this year I started out on a crazy task of knitting my way through Elizabeth Zimmermann’s book, Knitting Around. I’ve been slowly blogging about it over on Knitting Zimmermann.
This past summer, when I was in the middle of a huge amount of garter stitch projects (Elizabeth’s favorite stitch) I got the idea for a shawl and decided to design it in honor of her 100th birthday, which was August 9, 2010.
As many of you know, my summer was absolutely insane, and the fall slowly turned into insanity as well.
So, here we are, at the end of November, and I finally published “Elizabethan.”
You can read a little more about it and purchase it on Ravelry.
One thing I must say: I used Isager Alpaca 2 and it is heavenly. The end result is a shawl that is lusicously full of drape and exquisitely soft. If you can, find Isager Alpaca 2 to knit it out of! In other words: it’s too good to substitute!
$5.00
PS: For those of you in Indy, Stitches & Scones has Isager Alpaca 2 and I will be bringing the pattern up to the store tomorrow.
