Notes

Füüsal (juudikirss), or Physalis peruviana can be translated into English as ground cherry. Given the colour of the yarn, I quite agree. But the reason for such a name is the shape of the pattern.

I got this yarn from Inga. She is a great fan of Kid Classic and has made a lot of gorgeous shawls, cardigans etc with it. However, I could not figure out what to knit. The situation is somewhat crazy: everybody knows how nice and universal this yarn is but I simply cannot find anything that pleases me.

This idea of the pattern occurred to me quite suddenly. I think I had seen something similar (after all, we are reinventing and rediscovering well-known things). Anyway, I did a little experimenting and finally got what I wanted. I added some purl stitches to increase 3D-effect.

The shawl is quite long and warm. You never know Estonian summer:)

I am going to write the pattern.
