Using nearly eight hundred yards of sock yarn, this shawl is hearty.
You can see an Olias silhouette in the window.
I love the asymmetrical shape, and I LOVED knitting it. LOVED.
The stripes and short rows made the majority of this shawl go very quickly.
As you can see, I got ten stripes. I didn't think I had enough of the Hazel Knits Artisan Sock (in Beach Glass) for an eleventh stripe, so I have a small amount of that left over.
The brown yarn (I love the semi-solid shade!) is Sundara Sock yarn in Ancient Place. It was part of a holiday gift bag I purchased at Christmas 2010. I bound off with a size US 8 needle, to make sure the bind-off was nice and loose.
P.S. Did you see Rachel's version?
lovely!

ReplyDeleteI knit my Stripe Study last summer and was also only able to get 10 stripes with my yardage, but the size worked out well for me since I'm only 5'2". http://www.ravelry.com/projects/sjn821/stripe-study-shawl
