Frisbee -- who rolls her eyes at yet another shawl, at least it's not another cat!

We can't get enough blue around here. These two projects were created from the same warp. 28"wide and 9 yards long is enough for a vest with leno lace and beads and pretty tame stripes.

This is the shawl from the same warp but the weft was all different colors of blue and purple. You can see a couple of the leno stripes with beads in this. The teal fringe is hand dyed silk (you knew I'd find a way to work that in). This shawl was made in two panels and comes to a V in the back. the fringe on the ends is double twisted with a sprinkling of glass beads.

This shawl is really in homage to Jane Thornley http://www.janethornley.com who is a knitting guru spreading the love of color around the world. I recently happened on her site and bought her book and one of her patterns. They are fantastic and even someone like me who does not knit at an advanced level can create some beautiful things. I'm working on her cowled caplet and will photograph it when it gets finished. If you love color and texture be sure to check out her site.
