What was your inspiration?
The Doxy is a small fairy-like creature that is covered with black hair. They have sharp venomous teeth. Doxies are pests. They can infest houses, taking up residence in the draperies. Removing them requires a good supply of Doxycide. It's a good idea to have an antidote for Doxy venom on hand as well. Doxycide is a black liquid, usually delivered by spray bottle, used to knock out Doxies so that they can be safely disposed of. The effects last quite a long time. (from Harry potter lexicon) Doxycide is a triangular shawl worked back and forth with a 13 st center panel. The center panel features Doxies hanging out in the drapes while the sides have spray bottles filled with Doxycide. The shawl is finished with those pesky Doxies hanging in the drapes.
What are you most proud of?
This is my first shawl design and I figured out how to chart a complicated series of stitches that will hopefully be easy for others to understand.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
It can be tricky and a bit fiddly at first, but the "doxies" are easy once you have done one or two.
