goldenrod shawl

goldenrod pattern

This came off the same warp as the silk/cashmere jacket and the garnet shawl, and shares the same draft as the garnet shawl.  (I liked the pattern so much I wove a second one!)

Weaving this was a real challenge – for some reason, one of the shafts in my loom was floating, so there are many irregularities in the cloth.  For this reason, I didn’t show it at CNCH (my regional weaving conference), but I still think it’s pretty.
