Eva´s eves 7 :: 12

I´ve been busy crocheting shawls lately, destashing like mad. For the first time I´ve found a pattern I´m willing to over and over again: Eva´s shawl.

So simple, so clever, so addictive - and a great stashbuster!

I´ve used 2 skeins of some green yarn, I think is Evilla, it was some of the first yarn I bought over the internet (which, for sure, makes this a stash project - I have no idea what else I would ever have made from this yarn) - after seeing this scarf. I bought the same color and yarn as the scarf, and made this one:

cherry with leaves

trimming with newly stash-added Dansk Pelsuld, lovely yarn - but really scratchy. I don´t mind, I like my shawls woolly, and smelling of sheep.

The first Eva I made was from a skein of Kauni (look, they have a new website) - it´s on the small side, and I´m thinking of adding a border - but can´t decide on the color.

Photo of shawl will be added later.

The green shawl would be lovely with a border too - but again: what color?

All shawls are crocheted with a 6 mm. needle. And I´m down to 2 days of work for one shawl - sans border.

And yes - I feel like making a fourth!

Interesting colour combinations and both of the shawls look lovely. I was planning to knit one, but maybe I'll use this pattern to crochet one instead as I'm more comfortable with crochet.

As always you are great inspiration to me.

Wauw - de er flotte. Specielt det pinkrøde med den smukke, smukke grønne kant!! Tak for link - tror bestemt fruen skal hækle lidt Kauni fra lageret...gad vide om jeg har en 6 mm nål...

Og tank for hint'et mht ravelympics...må lige i tænkeboks for at finde det rette projekt.
