Well I finally finished this shawl last night, after some marathon knitting, now that the air conditioning is on and it is too hot to venture outside except in the morning and evening. I was afraid that this shawl was going to look like a semi-circular ugly couch afghan, but I have been pleasantly surprised, I love it!
This is the Marialis Shawl from Stahman’s Shawls and Scarves. the dark part at the top of the shawl was from a recycled sweater, as was the grey at the bottom of the shawl, but all of the different colors in the stripes is my own hand dyed, handspun yarn. I have no idea what yardage is in this, but it’s a lot, towards the end, I could go all the way across one row and back in the time it took to watch a movie. I can’t wait until this fall and winter, when it is cool enough to wear this shawl!
What a lovely shawl, Jan. It’s hot here, too.

Came over to read your blog entry after seeing this on Ravelry. What a lovely, lovely shawl. How wonderful it turned out with all the colors. I’ve only done the Susan shawl, but I love the Stahman book. Was just in Ravelry browsing around trying to decide on another when I spotted your lovely one. Congratulations on such a beautiful project.
