I made a pretty pretty shawl! I think I’m in love with Estonian-style lace patterns.
Project: Deep Water Echo
Pattern: Echo Flower Shawl
Designer: Jenny Johnson Johnen
Available: FREE! on Ravelry
Yarn: Knit Picks Shadow Tonal in Deep Waters
I made the larger version of this pattern, which I only regretted when doing the umpteenth repeat of the 3-into-9 body pattern. I love the nupps, the stars, everything! High marks to this first-time designer for a beautiful and well-written pattern!
Knit Picks Shadow Tonal is a joy to work with — springy and just enough color variation for beauty, without distracting from the lace. I did find Deep Waters a bit dark for night-time knitting: I had to wait for good light.
That looks gorgeous! And also the colour… so pretty.
awesome shawl, love the design, love the color!!!
That’s really lovely, both the shawl and the color.
Funny, I’m partway into Echo Flower in the same yarn, in the Gypsy (reds) colorway. I was of two minds about the variegation and also wondering about the yardage, but you’ve set my mind to rest about both issues. Very well done.
Glad I could help! I found that the variegation was well mixed by the pattern, in which rows rarely go straight across and are often quite bendy in the finished shawl.
I made “Rough Seas” in Gypsy (Stroll, not Shadow) — I just LOVE that red. Please post a photo when you’re done with your Echo Flower in Gypsy!
