I’ve become obsessed with crescent-shaped shawls. I love the combo of simple (usually stockinette) combined with lace and the occasional bead. I love me just a little bling. I blew through Mrs. Tumnus and now I’m close to being done with Lilac Wish (7 more lace rows plus a 648 stitch bind off).
Since I know I’ll be done soon (this weekend?) I’ve been looking for my next shawl. Here are a few contenders (subtitled I have a thing for Susanna and Corrina):
- Annis by Susanna IC
- Summer Blooms by Susanna IC
- Stellaria by Susanna IC
- Longfellow by Corrina Ferguson (and check out all 7 shawl in her Seven Sonnets collection)
- Lawsonia by Corrina Ferguson
- Vesna by Susanna IC
I could knit any of them in either a laceweight or fingering weight. Great use for stash yarn but no idea which one I’d do next.
What do you think I should do? Why? Feel free to suggest another crescent shawl as well. I need to add to my faves.
I’ll catch you on the purl side.
Beautiful selections. I have had Annis in my favs for a while. Maybe if I see you finish one, I will be inspired to cast it on. Currently Swallowtail by Evelyn Clark hsa captures my attention.
Yikes sorry for all the typos.
I love also the crescent shawls knitted topDown; suggestions: a beautiful reversible shawlette Crescent over Lothlorien, and Sea leaves with wavy leaves , Tsidfy with a nice edge!
You lace-weight shawl people always blow me away with your patience and eye for detail! Each of those are pretty, but my eye quickly went to Stellaria, it looks like a challenge, but so gorgeous!
I’ve knit Annis, and it’s one of my favorite projects ever. I have Longfellow and a few other Corrina Ferguson patterns in my queue, just waiting for the right yarn.
