April in Atlanta Shawl - in Heritage 150 Multis

I've been wanting to create something in Heritage 150 for a while.  When the samples for the new Multis came in I could not resist the color I named Valentine.  With almost 500 yards per 150 gram skein, it would work into a nice shawlette.  I knew the merino-nylon would block out nicely and show off a simple lace pattern.
In April, I attended Stitches South for the first time in several years and was reminded how valuable a shawl was everytime I went inside and was faced with the chill of the air-conditioner. Thus was the inspiration for a small shawl that would cover the shoulders, but be light enough to carry along when it was needed.  The merino would allow it to breathe while insulating.

In the pattern there is a 12 row Lace Section repeat and a 4 row Garter Stitch Section repeat.

  1. The history of yarn Manufacturers in India and textile manufacturers dates back to the times of mordant dyes and printing blocks around 3000 BC. The base of the India's textile trade with other countries kicked off as early as the second century BC.
