The need for this came about because of the Air Cadets Annual Dining In. Some fabric to make an evening dress was on my shopping list when I had my ‘fabric day’! I had found a pattern, but didn’t quite find the perfect fabric, although I found some that I could try it out with! Anyway, at the Dining In, shoulders need to be covered, and my dress pattern didn’t have sleeves. So the perfect excuse to make this shawl \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It had already been on my radar because my mother-in-law had seen it and liked it at Black Sheep Wools, but I generally wouldn’t wear a shawl, so while I liked it, it wasn’t on my likely to make next list. This excuse put it there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is made from a Whirl (@ \u00a320.99) and optional additional Whirlette (@ \u00a36.90) of Sheepjes. I went for the larger shawl with the additional whirlette in liquorice. The Whirl comes in lots of lovely colours, but I picked Night time bubbles, which goes from pink to black. This would go with my ‘try it out’ fabric for the evening dress, and the lovely silk I have my eye on. The Whirl seems quite expensive, but it is a 220g ball, roughly 1000m, so not really that bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The free Make-A-Long (MAL) pattern is below. The instructions are really good and easy to follow. Just remember to concentrate!! I took it on the train with me when I had a meeting in London, and was gutted to spot I was a stitch short when I did a count. I don’t count every row, certainly not if the pattern fits in, so hadn’t spotted it. It was about 4 rows back, just one treble, which took a while to spot. I had to stop at that point as I was nearing London and as Whirl pulls from the middle it would be difficult to rewind the wool I unpicked \ud83d\ude41 I did unpick it on the way home, and made it up again. Can you spot it??<\/p>\n\n\n\n
