FO: Shetland Triangle

posted Tue, 04/29/08
yorkshire shetland triangle
Pattern: Shetland Triangle by Evelyn Clark from Wrap Style
Yarn: Rowan Yorkshire Tweed 4ply (discontinued), 5 skeins, 120 yards each, color 271 Cheerful, from Newbury Yarns, Boston MA
Needles: size 5 addi lace needles
Notes: I couldn't resist making a Shetland Triangle out of the Yorkshire Tweed - so beautiful and tweedy!  I started this shawl in Cambridge, MA, finished knitting it in Holt, MI and blocked it in East Lansing.  First time I wore it? Ohio.  Pictures taken at Inniswood MetroPark Gardens in Columbus.

It's perfect in the Yorkshire Tweed! That's one of my favorite colors of this sadly discontinued yarn (why, Rowan, why?). And there's just not enough tweed lace in the world.

It looks fabulous! I am thinking I need to make one and add beads to the center line.

Oooooh, pretty!

And yeah, why does Rowan always discontinue the good yarns?

Really lovely! I'm finishing up the same pattern--just have the edging to do. It's a fun knit.

I love this pattern and want to make about 600 triangles. Add a tweedy version to my list...
