Off the Needles - The Aisling Shawl

I would love to have the time to knit up every single one of the yarns that I dye. Unfortunately, that is impossible, but I met the loveliest kindred spirit through my IG account, and she is an incredibly talented test knitter.

 When she offered to knit up my yarns for me in exchange for yarn it was like the heavens had opened and sent me my very own yarn angel. So, I chose two patterns and yarn for each project and shipped them off to her.

She dutifully sent me photos of the shawls progress while she worked on it which was nice. I loved seeing it at its different stages.

This week it arrived in the post, and I have to say I am in love! 

This is the Aisling Shawl by Justyna Lorkowska - here's the Ravelry Link - and it has been in my Ravelry queue for years!

The yarns I chose for this shawl were The Magic FarawayTree for the main body of the shawl and Saucepan Man Makes A Muddle for the lace and contrast bits.

Both yarns are just beautiful, and I am so pleased to see them knitted up and that I get to wear this shawl this autumn to some of my shows. 

 If you would like to purchase either of these yarns, then please do visit my Etsy shop.

Just a reminder that if you are in the Port Sunlight/Liverpool area on the 17th of August, I will be at the Popup Wool Show. It would be lovely if you decided to pop in and say hi. It's a great little show which lots of lovely wooly vendors. So if knitting or crochet is your thing then come along!
