My first Wollmeise project.  Other than the colour, entirely copied from Michelle.  The pattern is the Armorique shawl.

I had one skein of this yarn, and played yarn chicken. And lost, with still around four rows of the border to go even after having left out two rows of the main body repeat when it looked as though I might be short of yarn. Once again it was Ravelry to the rescue and kind people that gave me their leftovers and others that pointed me in the direction of more of this colourway for sale.

It was beautiful yarn to work with and the colour is truly amazing. It is called Dornroschen, and is incredibly vibrant. I’ve never had as many comments on a crocheted item as the day I wore this shawl! There is around two months of commuter crochet time in this shawl.

I now have a few skeins of Wollmeise in stash waiting to be liberated into a garment. But now that spring has sprung and summer is on the horizon, I am thinking about summer crochet projects, worked in cotton. Hmmmm, what next?
