New Pattern! The Glittering Path Shawl
Posted on
I have a new shawl pattern available - this is the Glittering Path shawl! The pattern is available on the website and on Ravelry.
This shawl was inspired by a beautiful skein of yarn that I purchased from Triskelion Yarn at my visit to Yarnporium last year. As soon as I saw their stall I knew I wouldn't be leaving empty handed! The yarn I chose was Branwen 4 ply, a gorgeous blend of 50% extra fine Falklands Merino and 50% silk, in the Pink Plymouth colour.
This soft and silky yarn wanted to be something lacy and sparkly, and with the skein just shy of 500m, it was perfect choice for a pretty shawl.
Glittering Path is a celebration of the little treasures that cross our path every day. Worked over 3 panels this semi-circular shawl combines a relaxing stroll through stockinette side sections with a wide, glittering path of lace and beads trailing down to the border in the centre section. Complementary lace patterns ramble alongside the main lace motif, and all three sections lead to a sparkling destination along the border of the shawl. This shawl is best worked in a smooth and luxurious fingering weight yarn (perhaps, with a little silken sheen).
