Junction Shawl

This is one of the first pieces I knit when I returned to knitting. It's designed by a Canadian designer, but sadly the pattern is no longer available. I also used yarn dyed by a Canadian hand dyer called The Blue Brick. It's their Point Pelee Yarn which is 80% merino wool, 10% cashmere and 10% nylon. The colour is called Cobblestone. Has a lovely soft feel with thanks to the cashmere element. The tonal yarn is based on the colour of the cobblestone streets in Ireland. Beautiful greens, browns, grays and almost black combine together to create a realistic cobblestone look. I used the entire skein of yarn, which was lots, as this yarn is considered a heavy lace weight yarn and the skein was 580 yards. It's a crescent shaped shawl (see third image) and measures 16" from the middle of the top down to the centre point (see first image) and from crescent point to point it's 37".
