Everybody loves Wollmeise. Except me, it seems. I knit a Traveling Woman shawl with it- and gave it away! I gave the yarn a second chance and knit an Orchid Thief with it. It was my second time knitting the pattern, and the second time using the yarn- and I think the last time for both. It feels as rough to work with as cotton (to me), and since I apparently only bought solid colors, the dyeing wasn’t really all that exciting. I just don’t get the Wollmeise obsession, people!
The shawl turned out ok, and I wear it on occasion. But it must be a sign of my general “meh”ness that I only took photos recently, when the shawl has been finished since June 2011!
For its blog debut- my Burgundy Orchid Thief. Tinier than the first Orchid Thief I made (for buddy Amanda), and a little annoying to knit- but the actual shawl is pretty cute!
I am more than happy to take another shawl off your hands, if you so desire!
