I'm working on a shawl/scarf made from handspun wool yarn. I bought the fiber from Hanks in the Hood and spun it up into a slightly thick and thin navajo plied yarn. I'm knitting until I run out of yarn; I have 126 yards to work with. After I'm done knitting the shawl/scarf I will wash it, block it and then will crochet the tailspun yarn on the side edges. I hope it turns out as well as I envision! Here are the yarns I'm working with.
Today I completed the first triangle shawl/scarf using this pattern. On this scarf I used ribbon and yarn to create tassels and attached them along the sides. This scarf is going to be a gift.
This scarf is made from handspun wool/mohair yarn and hand knitted.
The photos didn't come out the way I had hoped they would. The wind was blowing pretty hard and it kept blowing the fringe all over the place. But, you get the idea.

Very pretty, I love the colors in that first picture.
Taking photos outside can be frustrating! I love the colors of the yarn you're working with right now, can't wait to see the finished shawl!
Gorgeous!
I especially love the top picture with all the colorful locks, and the shawl is GORGEOUS! And Lordy Moses, getting the color right is a nightmare sometimes but I thought the pictures were lovely...
Hugs and Happy Days,
Maitri
