Introducing the latest Chiagu pattern, my new shawl pattern Tramonto! This is my oversize Koigu shawl with the colors arranged like a sunset. "Tramonto" means sunset in Italian, actually. (I know, not that creative, huh?!) This shawl uses 12 colors of Koigu, 14 skeins total, on a size 5 needle.
I took a bunch of pictures of it so you can see lots of angles, click below to see them! (may load slowly depending on your connection)
You can really see the color progressions in these shots. I used some
really beautiful colors in this project, it's the perfect project for
when you just can't pick one color!
This shot shows how long the shawl is (ignore the power cables, please!). It's 80" long so it makes a great wrap.
And here's a closeup of the stitch pattern, which also shows some of the color progressions beautifully. The lace pattern is very challenging but it was fun to watch it emerge.
I, too, came here via Harlot, although I’ve been to Chaigu in the past – before the site was fully up and running, if I’m remembering the correct thing. Tramonto is just freaking incredible…I will be making one. I’m so into lace these days, but I keep giving stuff away! I’m a big woman. Bold. I look silly in fluff. Tramonto is perfect for me!!! Thank you!
I came from the Harlot as well. I just had to tell you what an amazing shawl this is. It just may be the most beautiful shawl I’ve ever seen. WAY TO GO!
I just recently discovered your blog and had to comment on the shawl . . . it’s the first pattern that convinced me to buy it at first sight. I’m looking forward to knitting it- it’s such a beautiful piece! It’s really a work of art :)
Whoa,
I’m totally new to knitting and ran across your journal and this shawl jaw drops totally breathtaking. I wish I was good enough to even consider tackling it, but so far I keep dropping loops and screwing everything up. Maybe someday.
Very beautiful though.
That is really, really gorgeous. I want to make one NOW and I haven’t finished the last shawl I’m working on!
Wow! I wish I could think of sufficient words to express how beautiful that is. Sometimes we knit and produce something very nice – occasionally a work of art emerges.
Absolutely beautiful!
absolutely beautiful!
It is very beautiful Ivete. Great job with matching the sunset colors, I love it!
Hi! I saw your GORGEOUS shawl on the Harlot’s blog and had to come over and see more!! I really am blown away by just how beautiful this is – I am a huge fan of wraps to begin with, but this one is breathtaking. I was so thrilled to find out the pattern is available!! I need another project like a hole in the head, but this is just to good to pass up!! Really, really beautiful work!!
I’m almost speechless. That shawl is just so beautiful!
It’s beautiful! Really looks like a sunset. Nice job!
Gorgeous shawl!
