My shawl was made in charcoal, using my Tilda yarn (available for purchase here), with accent colors of petrol and light blue. It was a delightful project and the shawl goes perfect with a casual jeans look or with my summery black dresses. The real reward was when I blocked the shawl. My oh my that edging really makes the procedure of blocking worth it. It is gorgeous!
Maaike continues to keep herself busy making new beautiful crochet and knit designs for future book projects and I need to shop her latest book Hollands Welgaren after finishing this blog post. As a big fan, and a dear friend, I can't wait to see what she has tucked up her sleeve this time. Pure prettiness I'm sure.
Visit Maaike's blog CreJJtion to get to know her more, shop the book Puur Haken here and while you are at it, put Maaike's latest book Hollands Welgaren - full of crochet patterns mixed with recipes and crafty projects - into your shopping basket as well. You won't be disappointed, many lovely projects accompanied by tasty cakes are to be made. At least that is what I am imagining. I will let you know once the book arrives... Well lets go shopping shall we?

It truly is a beautiful shawl, I must finish my Nordic shawl first, It is for summer, since I have used thin Cotton to make it.
ReplyDeleteHave a Nice day. Do share in my link party :)
Spring certainly is the time for shawls and that one is beauty, the blue border makes the grey really pop out. Jo x
ReplyDeleteYour colourcombination is lovely. Did you already see the new book that Maaike van Koert made? It's called 'Hollands Welgaren'
ReplyDeleteThat is a truly beautiful shawl. It's amazing what blocking does isn't it? My first few projects I didn't bother because I couldn't see that it would make a difference, but once I did it was such a difference, especially for edgings. Your colors are beautiful.
