Dots and Bobbles :: Knitting ::

Monday 16 March 2015


Let me introduce you to Darling Dotty - the latest Truly Myrtle Designs, a feminine crescent textured shawl. I tested this pattern for Libby (I usually test charts), not that there were a lot of issues with the pattern. And it is finished, blocked, ends weaved.. And now even pictures have been taken!

Oh my, I love the texture - I have never knitted anything like it, and the result is so impressive. Even Mr MiH was impressed when he saw the shawl being blocked. 




Pattern: Darling Dotty by Truly Myrtle Designs
Yarn: Rowan Baby Merino Silk DK in Dawn
Needles: 4.5 mm
Modifications: None, except changing the needle size because of the gauge





I am not going to lie, the border takes a bit of time - a row per day was my pace. But it does finish the shawl beautifully. I am hoping to use the techniques of this shawl for another project, especially the 'dots' stitch - it would be a great embellishment on a simple garment.

  4. This has terrific texture. It takes what could have been a bit redundant grey shawl to interesting to the eye and pretty to accessories with and wear.
