Dalilah

Make It

This project was made from an independent Craftsy designer's pattern:
Dalilah Shawl »

Difficulty:

Category: Knitting

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Romantic, Retro / Vintage


Materials

7 skeins of MadelinetoshDK - color Gossamer. Needles: US6 / 4mm atraight orcirculars 47"

What was your inspiration?

This is my final project from Stefanie Japel's "Design your own shawl" class!
Dalilah was created to be a warm & texturized shawl. Knitted with 4 sections to wrap the body confortably, it becomes a big shawl for chilly days!

What are you most proud of?

The connection between color changes and the stitch motifs!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Dalilah have 3 distinct st motifs and each one of them have specif symbols and instructions.
I adapted the yarn color variations to the pattern and you can play with different yarns dye lots as well. Or be creative with different colors for each motif.
I hope that you have lots of fun knitting this shawl!

This is SOOOOO Beautiful!!!!!! How many years did it take you to finish it? Did you miss seeing your family and friends?? LOL! I want to make one but I'm in my 50's .... My kids are a pain in the butt and I'm planning on dying in the next couple of decades so I can get some rest ... Seriously, I might start this next month; really gorgeous!!

This is beautiful...is it to difficult for someone who has not worked with circular needles?
Paula Pereira on craftsy.com
Jun 13, 2011   Flag as inappropriate
Oh! Sorry for my lack of info! You can knit w straight needle! I suggested circulars only to better acommodate the project! Thank you for pointing me that!
