Brrr, it's cold. Thinking about the Polar circle crossing Sweden. Meaning part of Sweden in fact is belonging to the Arctic It's pretty incredible. When thinking about it. And makes me long for warmth, even more.
Klar med en Travelling woman, i många nyanser av orange. Över förväntan nöjd med färgen, som passar speciellt bra till det här mönstret. Egentligen visar ingen av bilderna sjalens fina sicksack-mönster men du får en idé på designerns webbsida.
Finished with a Travelling woman in various nuances of orange. Beyond expectation pleased with the colour which goes specially well with this pattern. Actually none of the pictures shows the shawl's nice sick sack pattern but you get an idea over at the designer's web page.
Använde Malabrigo Sock i färgen Terracota. Gjorde fyra upprepningar av mellanmönster (A). Men kunde förmodligen ha kramat ut en till då jag hade 25 gram över. Har läst att risken med sjalar i superwashbehandlat garn är att de lättare tappar formen. Tiden får utvisa.
Used Malabrigo Sock in colour Terracota. Did four repeats of the middle pattern (A). But could probably have squeezed out one more, as I have 25 g left. Have read that the risk with shawls made with superwash yarn is they loose their shape more easily. Time will have to tell.
Det är trevligt med en orange sjal i garderoben, att matcha tröjjor/jackor med. Men vad ska jag sticka härnäst? Har spanat in många trevliga sjalar att skaffa garn till, exempelvis Atalanta Sideways, Rhodocrosite eller Hawthorne. Kanske kunde vara nåt?
It's nice with an orange shawl in the wardrobe, to match with pullovers/jackets. But what to knit next? Have spotted plenty of nice shawls to buy yarn for, for example Atalanta Sideways, Rhodocrosite or Hawthorne. Perhaps something?

Supersnygg! Jag har stickat en själv, men den blev allt mkt coolare i orange! :D
Faktiskt. Helt klart en fördel med något orange inslag i garderoben. Att liva upp med. Särskilt nu när man är blek och grå.
It's really pretty. The colours look great worn with black. I didn't know that shawls made with supersock yarn will lose their shape. Maybe blocking them again will solve that?
Thank you for your sweet comment. Have worn it every day since finished. A colour injection that definitely makes me a bit happier.
I agree, a re-blocking would probably be a good solution getting superwash shawls back in shape.
Or perhaps even better, selecting shawl patterns not so depedent on a good blocking.
Therefore my next Malabrigo shawl will probably be atalanta sideways (made by designer of Galathea). They seem to come out lovely also with out a proper blocking.
