Icarus
I finished Icarus this week. I was really meaning to work on my Raven but when this was so close to done it was hard to tear myself away from it. I mean blocking really shows you what you did and I wanted to see it blocked.
Icarus - Interweave Summer 2006
Yarn: Spritely Goods Sylph - Chaparral
Needles: Knit Picks Options size 6
I did do one less repeat of the "ribs" section since I was using fingering weight yarn and size 6 needles. It came out plenty big at 89" x 39" and is still beautifully light and cozy. I will for sure use this yarn again for a shawl as it was great to work with.
None of these really show off the beautiful colors in the yarn. Here is a better shot of the colors.
Now I can concentrate on Raven. I am moving along on it as I have finished the shoulder shaping section and am moving on to the shoulder drop.

Oh, my...that is awesome! It's so big, too! I was thinking that it might be too small for my bustiness, but maybe not.... I really love the points at the end...just perfect. Beautiful job as always, Cayli!!

It came out beautiful Cayli! I like those colors. I have my Icarus sitting in my basket waiting to be finished. I think I might dig it out and get going on it again over the holiday break.
Thanks for the inspiration!
