Mom's Diving Shawl

(Knit)

My mom also fell in love with the “Diving In” shawl, and she made her own version…
Mi mamá también se enamoró del Chal “Diving in”, y tejió u propia versión… 









She also used a variegated Merino, but in a different shade, with green, cream and aqua colors.  It is hard to photograph this shawl in its entirety because of its length, but I took one spread on the floor so you can appreciate the beauty of the diagonal stripes.  Last time I forgot to mention the picot edge on the last row; it is a bit tedious to knit, but so worth the effort.  My mom also made a simple crochet border around the rest of the shawl, to frame it.

 Ella también usó una lana manchada de merino, con tonos verde, crema y aqua (Merino Gold Batik, de Madame Tricote Paris).  Es difícil fotografiar este chal entero debido a lo largo que es, pero le tomé una foto extendido en el suelo para que puedan apreciar sus bellas franjas diagonales.  Cuando les mostré mi chal, se me olvidó mencionar el borde picot, el cual está tejido en dos agujas; es algo tedioso de hacer, pero vale la pena.  Alrededor del resto del chal, mi mamá tejió un borde simple en ganchillo, para enamarcarlo.

    1. Thak you, Wendy! And I was surprised to find out that it was a rather easy knit. Long rows at the end, but fun never the less. It is all in garter st, which makes it a mindless knit :-)
