Nymphladia Shawl #3
I enjoyed knitting the two Nymphalidea shawls for Brenda so much that I made one for myself. (aren't you impressed with my first attempt of taking a "selfie"? My arms were not long enough to take it without the help of a mirror) The multi-colored yarn was a skein that I picked up at Christy's house when she invited Guild members to help themselves to her samples. The Wildfire socks were knit from Christy's samples, too.
Yarn: Knit Picks Gloss (Black) 220 yards - 70% merino, 30% silk
LANG Mille Colori Baby 207 yards - 100% merino
Needles: US size 6

Great job on the shawls and the selfie! Now that I think about it, I've never taken my own selfie, though I've been a few.
ReplyDeleteJust perfect for those transitional days into fall! Congrats on another beautiful finish.
ReplyDeleteI like the colors in yours the best. Just beautiful - and very nice selfie!
ReplyDeleteIt looks good one you:) Great job.
ReplyDeleteGreat selfie! Nice shawl too! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Nancy, I love both shawls! Silk divine! The color combinations are really lovely and your selfie is great. You look great in those colors. Excellent all around.
ReplyDeleteHI Nancy!! I love them too...echoing all the rest! Good to see you!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lady and pretty shawl! I haven't figured out the selfie thing yet. I keep trying and all the pictures I take, even with a mirror, are wonky. On second thought, maybe it is just the subject that is a bit off.
ReplyDeleteHey, that's a great selfie! Using the mirror is genius. I like the shawls so much! It's interesting how the different color choices provide such different looks!
ReplyDeleteThey both are beautiful and look good on both of you :)
ReplyDeleteI think both selfie and shawl turned out well. I wish I had gotten into the shawl knitting thing as it is cooler here than usual and I would love to have a shawl to wear at an event tomorrow. No way for me to knit one fast enough either. Will plow through drawers and see if I have something appropriate to wear. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - you and the shawls! I admire your selfie skills too. I'm deep in baby knitting with no end in sight.
