Just added a new shawl pattern called Amongst the Roses Shawl to my Ravelry shop, Fuzzylover Designs.

Finished my Coneflower Shawl. I used a handspun yarn made from a blend of Hogget Haunui and bombyx silk from @allonsyfiberarts in the Playful colorway (1450 yards, 145 grams). The pattern is posted on Ravelry in my shop, FuzzyLover's Designs.

Finally blocked a shawl I finished 2 years ago. What? Me? Procrastinate?

The pattern is Corazona by @nimble_knits. The yarn is handspun from a gradient (Gradient 11) by @essentialfiber, Polwarth/silk 60%/40%.

I am kicking myself for not buying more of the Mazama 2024 edition fiber (80% Cormo/20% Targhee) from @yarnunderground. It was such a dreamy spin! I ended up with 930 yards (118 grams) of lovely bouncy 2 ply.
