Remember when I wrote this post about my first attemt to dye yarn? Well I got around to using it pretty quickly.
I ordered some yarn from Truly Hooked quite some time ago and oh my did I fall in love with it. I had planned on using it for the stripes in a Paulie cardigan but I just couldnt wait to use it up and knew it would be years before I actually got around to the cardigan.
So, in need of a quick and easy project to satisfy my desires I whipped up yet another Elise Shawl.
A person can never have too many shawls and scarves, I wear one every day and still need a wider array of colours.
It may not be clear in this photograph but I used my hand dyed yarn to edge the shawl. I estimate I had approximately 30g of my yarn so I knew it wouldn't go too far. It did however get around the shawl twice to create a lovely edging like this.
I'm so pleased with how this one has turned out. There have already been a number of attempted shawl-nappings take place. It's MINE!
Whilst I am here, remember this?
I have finally got it out of its box and I am hoping to make some serious progress with it over the next few weeks. Lucy of Attic 24 told me it was not colourful enough. I think she might have been right!
