This is Annas Shawl, from Anna at Stickfrossa. It's a simple, fast knit, very satisfying. I did run back to the yarn shop and get another ball of Felted Tweed as it seemed a bit short, but it stretched quite a lot with blocking, so maybe it would have been all right. I didn't make any modifications as such, except for not changing needle size for the edging, mostly because I forgot.
The Felted Tweed was very pleasant to knit with, full of texture and wonderful nubbins of blue and white and gold against the dark green. It is not particularly warm, so makes a nice shoulder covering for cool weather. I loved the way the edging curled up before blocking, like a little sea anemone --
I watched the entire twelve hours of "Poldark" knitting this ....
I'm glad you like my pattern. Your shawl is beautiful, nice colour.

It's just lovely, you did a lovely job.
Thank you for the link. I love Rowan yarns, what a nice piece to make up quickly without a huge investment of cash!
