Last week, I gave a little teaser of a finished object, which was almost ready to be revealed. And here we are! One completed ‘Death in the Forest’.
2m across, more than 6m around (I love π) and a bajillion stitches of awesome. If I do say so myself.
As I mentioned before, it’s an adaptation of Shipwreck in laceweight, with a couple of the stitches swapped out, and the addition of net panels to break up the designs. The pinecone and arrowhead lace sections are my addition, intended to fit the theme of death and misery.
The purple appears a little bit cheerful for such a dark theme, but that’s just the effect of a white backdrop and a sunny afternoon. I’m sure that with a suitably gothy outfit, it’d look wonderfully moody. Imagine this over a floofy black dress, and enormous boots:
I’ll get the NiN out.
Wonderful. I really love it.
That is one gorgeous shawl!
Wow! That’s beautiful!
That is an awesome shawl!
lovely, lovely shawl, pretty color too, what yarn is that?
Have a wonderful day
Thanks!
No idea what the yarn is, other than mostly wool. It was a charity shop find – an enormous cone of undyed laceweight. For £2.50! Best bargain ever.
Thanks all! You’re making me blush. ^^
Your shawl is absolutely beautiful – just stunning!
Thanks.
Amazing!
Holy moly! I didn’t realise that was lace! I thought it was a technical drawing of a flower or something. So detailed and so beautiful.
Oh my, that is beautiful. The pattern is brilliant, and the color is amazing!
