Another shawl just off the needles, this time a red one. It’s my first shawl in red, and while this isn’t exactly my favourite colour, with the hearts pattern – and with Christmas around the corner – I couldn’t have chosen a different one!

The pattern, Karin Lace shawl, can be purchased at the designer Evelyn Clark’s website, or on Ravelry. I have knitted several of her shawls, and there are still more tempting me. Visit her site and I’m sure you’ll find one or more too!

I’ve knitted with Wollmeise, colour Herzblut, needles 4mm. The pattern was very straight forward, but I am not content with the blocking of the scalloped edgingsatisfied with the blocking of the lace border.
