Ishbel

I am so in love with my Ishbel shawl! I think this is my favorite thing I've ever created! The pattern is quite easy and the results are beautiful.
I chose this yarn by Miss Babs because I loved the colorway, Roasted Pumpkin. It's a perfect fall color.
Here it is, blocking on a guest bed.
I am not sure why I chose to wear it with the point to the front for the photograph. In real life I've worn it with the point in the back.
Last week I wore it to a Houston Rockets basketball game. As I was getting my purse searched for contraband before entering the arena, the searcher commented how much she liked my scarf. Another day I was paying for my purchases at Talbots. A customer in line behind me also liked it.

I'm looking forward to wearing this all Thanksgiving weekend in Colorado!

Beautiful! Thanks for the close-up of the edging. Makes me that much more eager to cast on.
