Today’s Fibre Friday post is a little late, because I needed to wait for some light to take pictures. We had snow, so that made a good backdrop, but it wasn’t sunny yet so the colours are a bit dull compared to real life.

This is my Charlotte’s Web shawl, knit in Koigu KPPPM. I bought a kit with ten skeins in shades of purple and the pattern book. Here are the skeins and the shawl in progress:

I’m using the progression at the lower right corner. The other five skeins are the remaining ones from the kit that I didn’t use in this shawl. You can see that the lace pattern is bunched up. I knew it would blossom when it was blocked, and wow, I was right.

The blocked shawl is over a meter deep. I really like the colour gradation in it. I was worried about the fifth colour, that it might be too inky, but IRL it picks up the rosy and inky tones of #4.

As mentioned before, I decided against the fringed edge and tried to use up all the yarn instead in the shawl. I knit the last four rows with the first colour, then did an I-cord bind-off with it.

Here’s a close-up of that lace pattern:

What do you think?
