Epic Viajante

For those who've browsed Ravelry patterns recently, you may have noticed that Martina Behm's Viajante Shawl has featured quite heavily. I had the opportunity to knit this shawl recently as a Will-Work-for-Yarn job for the lovely jenigma. Jenigma provided the yarn which was Wollmeise Lacegarn in the colourway "Verhext und verratzt". It's a beautiful colour. I love purples. Link to the Ravelry project page. It came out like this:

As you can see, it's a pretty huge shawl. I used up almost the entire 300g skein with only 3.5g leftover. It took about a month of speedy knitting to finish. My knitting friend, Lorna, describes this shawl as a giant sleeve! My payment yarn was Wollmeise lacegarn in Schwarz (i.e. black).

I am planning to use this as a highlight for a Veera Välimäki's Plain and Simple Pullover with another skein of Wollmeise Lacegarn in a Nobody's Perfect skein of Poison Nr 5. I bought this skein while on holiday in Germany, at the Wollmeise shop!
