Laminaria

This is the most complicated shawl I have knitted to date it is Estonian Lace from this free pattern from Knitty - Laminaria. And I was successful only on the 3rd attempt at which point I felt the yarn was the best fit (even if the colour is detracting from the overall effect the actual fibre and spin composition of the yarn was a good one).

I finished it a while ago but got a little behind with blogging so here it is in all its glory.

Laminaria Shawl

Knitted with Zauberball sockenwoolle in the Blackberry colourway.

I liked the zauberball but it is a single.  I would never even consider using this for something as hardwearing as a sock - it would felt/wear thin in a heartbeat.  It was perfect for the shawl though and I have seen many shawls on Ravelry that have worked very well in this yarn.
