Lotus Blossom Shawl
Yarn: Something in the vicinity of 1100 yards of Blackberry Ridge silk/wool fingering weight in Paprika. (One 4.7 oz skein, one 4.3, plus a bit of a third - ball band indicates 450 yards to the official 4 ounce skein. But their skeins are generous.)
Pattern: Fiddlesticks Knitting Lotus Blossom
Modifications: three additional pattern repeats - two in the blossoms, one in the stem
Needles: 5.5 mm ebony circs from Holz and Stein (The King of Needles)
Final measurements: approximately 109" across and 50" deep at the point, this is officially the perfect size shawl if you top six feet. Just in case anyone was wondering.
