Today I'm showing off the lovely Holden Shawlette knit by Karma using Shibui's silk-blend Staccato. The color is Chrome, a pale solid gray that is well suited to frequent wear.
This is the kind of project that would be perfect for gift knitting, don't you think? The color is neutral, the pattern is simple but stunning, and the project requires just 100 grams of sock yarn (a bit over 400 yards) so you could definitely knit a luxurious blend like Staccato without going overboard Karma, you used just 2 skeins of Staccato, didn't you?
I think this pattern would also show off Dream in Color's Starry (which I just got a shipment of new colors in their Scorched Solid Series- just give me a couple more hours to get it on the website).
This is just lovely! Have already added the pattern to my "favorites" in Ravelry. Am counting down the days until the Grand Opening!
