This is the shawl I showed you in the last post. I'm very happy of it, and proud of how it came out! it's an easy pattern, Revontuli - huivi (Northern Lights) by Anne M. I used 5 mm needles and Kauni wool, in a beautiful levender-blue-green-red colourway. I think this one is better than the citron, for which I used 4mm needles. I shall remember to always use 5mm to knit shawls with Kauni!

Blocking really enhanced it and made it very soft. Moreover it is huge: 1.80 m x 75 cm makes it the largest thing I have knitted this year!

Now I'm itching to knit another one using the Evilla pre-yarn, and I'm curious to see if it can survive the blocking....
