pattern: Melon Pattern Shawl from Victorian Lace Today
yarn: Pirtin Villalanka (100% wool, 360m/100g), colour 306, 200 g (two hanks).
needles: 4mm addi circs (because my ebony circs didn't arrive in time...)
measurements: about 45cm X 180cm
Wheee - what's up with the overexposed face? - I look like I had a freaking face lift, there's not a dimple or wrinkle in sight!!!
kommentit: Tämä oli todella helppo malli, sopi mainiosti tv-neuleeksi. Tein simppelimmän version kuin kirjassa jättämällä reunapitisn pois. Pirtin villalanka on ihanaa! Onneksi sitä on lisää toista shaalia varten.
comments: This was a very easy lace pattern, even suitable for tv-knitting! I didn't do the lace edging as I wanted a simpler version. I love this yarn! It's nice to know I have more of it in stash, for another shawl from the same book.

Kaunis keväinen huivi! Ja ihanan punainenkin vielä..
Aivan ihana huivi! Niin herkullisen värinen, mäkin haluan!
what, you're not trying to tell us you have dimples and wrinkles, are you? ;-)
LOVE the shawl. great colour and great mods. fabulous work!
Onpas huivissa kivan näköinen mallineule ja värikin on pirteän keväinen!
Oh that is gorgeous! I might have to buy the book, just for that pattern.
I love the shawl and I think it's wonderful even without the border. I am currently working on a pattern from the same book and getting frustrated over how long it takes to knit the border. For the next shawl I am thinking of going the no-border way, too.
The color you picked is very beautiful. I followed the link to the yarn website to check out the yarn; too bad I don't understand Finnish!
Voih, taas taattua Mari-laatua. Ihana.
i love the shawl! it is so gorgeous and the simple edging is absolutely perfect.
i actually thought you might be auditioning to be a geisha girl ;-)
outi, tinna ja carita: kiitos! Väri on luonnossa vähän tummempi ja viininpunaisempi. Todella hankala saada oikeaa väriä esiin kuvissa...
heidi: kiitos! :-)
kris: yes, I do! :-D (well, actually I have some wrinkles, one dimple and even some pimples!):-P
lisa: i really do recommend the book, for all of the patterns! :-)
francesca: thanks! unfortunately the site is only in finnish and swedish... :-(
jacqueline: thanks! geisha girl!? you're killing me! :-D
Todella ihastuttava shaali! Kaunis! Sääli ettei meidän muuten niin mainio kirjastomme kokoelmaan tuulo tuo kirja, sen ohjeet kun vaikuttavat varsin houkuttelevilta.
Ja olen samaa mieltä muiden kanssa: Mari-tyyliin viehättävä neule! :)
I really love the color and shape of this shawl. Beautiful knitting!
Gorgeous scarf!! I love that color on you.
That's a beautiful scarf and I love the photos too. The red, black and white
Don't you know overexposed faces are very flattering ;)
Kaunis huivi, aivan ihana!
piua ja uhoava gnu: kiitos! :-)
brooke & vanessa: thanks! :-)
carson: Deep red is one of my favourite colours! mmm - maybe I should do that overexposure trick always?!
;-)
Ihana huivi! Victorian lace on upea kirja :)
So Beautiful!!!
hugues: kiitos!
jen: thanks! :-)
Kaunis huivi! Etenkin väri on herkullinen.
