To use up another skein from my stash, I have started Henslowe by Beth Kling, a lacy pie-shaped shawl with a pretty picot edge.
I'm using Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in Oxblood, a purpley red.
I really like the varigation in this yarn throughout the garter.
Top favorites of this pattern on Ravelry are:
treeseeker's Henslowe in a gorgeous slate blue:
NormaPatx's Henslowe in this pretty pink/brown sugar colour:
and finally, MsBimbamboum`s Spring Henslowe - pop of pink!
I really like the Roman stripes lace pattern, and how you increase at the end of the garter rows with a YO, which then are picked up to start the lace.
A gorgeous pattern. Check it out.
I have this pattern in my queue. You are tempting me to cast on. Oxblood is my favorite of all the Tosh. If I had to choose one. ;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Biggest thing to remember with this pattern - cast off with bigger needles! And Tosh is awesome, it's so hard to pick a favorite!
