I love how it turned out. I debated about adding fringe & then I tried, just to be sure and then found it didn't need the added length. The neutral color over black is great, perfect shawl weight for Arizona too.
This is the yarn used:
It has a drapy-ness that I guess is only from linen/rayon combo, but a lovely weight for Arizona, hence the name. Beautiful friend & co-worker Kit models in the library. Finished size is 14"x80".

I cast-on 64 stitches; any multiple of 4 will work and about 4 rows of garter at either end. I think of it as my Closer Shawl - I watched seasons 1, 2 & 3 of The Closer this summer, while knitting this shawl. I can't see Kyra wearing this :)

Wow, that is gorgeous! I am such a beginning knitter it isn't even funny but I'll hope to be able to pull off something like that in the future :)
Thank you! It was easier than it looks, pattern is the same row, over & over. That's my kind of knitting, as I'm a beginner too.
Love your shawl.........i've been looking for an idea for one for myself (i always give away my knitting!) and this one just popped out to me!
You did a fine job on this treasure!
I need to get knitting fast as i'd like it ready to wear by Oct. 2!
Thanks! I know what you mean, this one I am keeping! The pattern is a favorite, adapts well as scarf or shawl, & so simple, only one row to remember - that's my kind of kintting. Good luck with yours :)
So pretty! Great job!
Thank you!
