Notes

This is the Dk version of Rue Montaigne Shawl

This is a perfect shawl to use your stash, why?
If you use a heavier yarn like Im doing with this version, your shawl will look great too, a bit bigger than the one on the pattern.
You just adjust your needle size. Just keep the st count.

You can knit it in one colour, or use different colours for each seccion.
You can make the flowers in one colour or in different colours, same as the icords.
You can add mohair, have fun planing your shawl!
Just keep the stitch count ;) and you will be fine =)

Beautiful yarn, is an off white with pink undertone.
Since this yarn is heavier Im using it single.

Before I cast on, I always spray just a tiny bit of my fave perfume at the moment, just a bit and not too close.

After trying different colours for the Icord, I used Metallurgy by NBK (30g), it has silk so this is perfect for this MC in blush
