The other night we went out for dinner and I wore this shawl, so it reminded me I should feature it on the blog. It's had a lot of compliments at shows as well - it's called
Sister Syster and is by Asa Tricosa.
As you can see, it's a clever design. It flows both in design and to wear, thanks to the crossing cables both in the body and along the beautifully structured edging.
It requires 800-900 yards, so with 218yds per 50g ball of Milburn 4ply (which is what this one is made in) you'll need four or five balls. Milburn 4ply is a great choice for this shawl as although the silk content aids with drape and shine, the woolliness of it keeps the shawl light and fluid.
The elongated, tapering sort-of-triangle-ish shape is ideal for both wearing in a scarfy style as well as throwing around the shoulders in a more tranditional shawl style.
This shawl just makes me think of late summer.. I think it's the colour..

Good to see Milburn 4 ply Harvest Gold knitted up – I’m ploughing through Summer Festival by Georgie Nicholson in it. Just about 1 1/2 sleeves to go, so will end up being a Harvest Festival I think, which of course was the plan all along! ?
That cabling is stunning! The yarn you chose made it really drapey and perfect. I’m going to have to add that yarn to my “to knit with” list!
Beautiful!
Beautiful shawl, and yes, gorgeous color!
