The Orchid View shawl pattern I designed during the fall is now available for purchase. This quickly became one of my favourite shawls, and I think it’s been the one I’ve worn the most in the past several months. It’s knit using one or two skeins of Tush from Saffron Dyeworks, which is a really fabulous yarn. The colours are truly amazing. My shawl was knit with one skein of Tush in the colour Red Sumac, which is a really nice deep wine red. The colour has a lot of depth to it, and I’ve always been fond of deep reds. Dee at Saffron Dyeworks actually picked the colour for me, and I was amazed at how she managed to pick one of my favourites. Although, so far, I haven’t seen a colourway of hers that I didn’t like….. The shawl has already been knit up in several different colours, and if you’re on Ravelry you can see some pictures here.
The pattern comes in two different sizes – one for 1 skein of Tush and one for 2 skeins. The shawl has a number of Orchid flowers and buds spreading out over the back. I particularly like the Orchid flowers, and am very pleased with how they resemble the actual flower.
The pattern also comes with both charted and written instructions.
