Water by Sylvia McFadden

Water is an asymmetrical triangle shawl worked with the same technique found in (amongst some of my other shawls), the technique I’ve called.

The added fabric from the watery twisted stitch lace short rows creates a wonderful unique shape reminiscent of a teardrop. Turning the otherwise triangle shawl shape into something more likely to fall from the sky as rain.

2 skeins of Sweet Fiber Cashmerino 20 in colourway “Worn Denim” or 800 yards (732 metres) of fingering weight yarn. (although the finished photos of the yarn in the shawl are significantly less blue due to lighting and post-processing).

We shot this entire series of photos in 17 minutes out in the freezing frigid cold over at Iona Beach in Richmond BC. Nicola is an incredible trooper. We ran out of the car, took photos until my hands were aching from cold, and then ran back to the car.
