I had the joy of casting off and washing (there was only cause for a very very mild blocking) the Jewelled Cowl the other day.
To recap, I used Sweet Georgia Merino Silk Lace in Ginger, a fistful of 6/0 beads from work, and 5.00mm needles. I made it a bit shorter, because I ran out of beads.
The end result is airy, and the combination of the weight from the beads and the fabric give it an absolutely remarkable springiness. I love the colours, the blue just leaps out against the ginger. I'm so excited to gift this!
I also blocked the Juno Regina shawl yesterday, and I plan to document it tomorrow.
Have a lovely evening, everyone!
It's beautiful! Can't wait till mine is at this stage too!
