Vegas shawl

So these are some more of the yarns I picked up during my visit home. I've been sitting thinking how to best use them up, this morning I decided to play with some of the green yarns, and once I'd knitted up the basic shape, I played around with styles, and whoppee, the vegas shawl was born.

I've used a new stitch which, when knitted tightly looks like a basket weave, it's totally interesting, and as you can see on a loose weave, it's just perfect, making web like details, and nice large holes, big enough to put your arms through, another whoppee.

So I'm now looking forward to mixing this up a little and making up some other shades.

This was a custom order.

It's not often I make a mistake, but today I knitted the wrong yarn in the stripe at the bottom, it was meant to be gold, doh..... so this is now available in my store, http://www.etsy.com/listing/79799132/ivory-white-linen-poncho and I have to get my needles hot and knit up the correct one..
