I wanted it in the same colour, and just happened to have some gold Jaeger extra-fine merino I'd bought from my LYS in 2010. The yarn is lovely and soft and a a beautiful gold, not too bright. I love this colour with denim. The shawlette is done in fingering, but I like the idea of it in dk to get a more substantial shawl. It's a beautiful sunny spring day--I have the deck door open and listening to the birds and sounds of my neighborhood on a Sunday afternoon.
This is my first Helen Stewart design. Other favorites include Red Robin Shawl, Fresh Powder Cowl, and Fireflies Rising Shawlette
Here's my progress so far --
