Portico

Now that we are a month out from the end of the Mystery Shawl I think it's safe to show you finished photos of my shawl. Last month we had a contest and the pattern has a new name Portico.

I used Jade Sapphire Silk/Cashmere 2 Ply and made the small size. I think my colorway might be exclusive to Purl Soho, because I don't see it on the Jade Sapphire site. The pattern also gives instructions for a larger version, but be forewarned it uses a lot of yarn. You'll need almost double the amount of yarn for those last 40 rows.

The complete Portico pattern is available on Ravelry and I've put it on sale for $4.00 until the end of August. Just enter the coupon code: PORTSALE at check out to take advantage of the lower price.

I LOVE this pattern!! I did the KAL, but so slowly it's embarrassing. I just blocked her last night, and she's gorgeous. Used an enormous amount of yarn. I used two full skeins of Malabrigo lace, with about 18 inches left over. So lovely, and thank you for designing it!
