The Palmyre...





I finished the Palmyre shawl before Pascha (our Easter is this coming Sunday)!  It took me over a week to figure out the pattern, but once I received some help from knitting friends on Instagram, I completed the shawl in five days.  I used MadelineTosh Dk yarn in Farmhouse White (about 500 yards worth).  I followed the pattern very closely made no modifications that I am aware of.  Once the shawl was bound off, I blocked the it very severely with pins on my blocking board.  I am so pleased with how this shawl turned out and am itching to start another!
