Magellan has finally arrived

I really like the shawls designed by Monika Eckert and this year her work has been prolific. Unfortunately I have just not had the time to knit most of her shawl patterns. But I was determined to knit this one: Windsbraut "Magalhaes" (Ravelry link).






I'm afraid I can't tell you much about the yarn. It was part of my $10 Swap parcel and all I know is that it is pure wool 2 ply and I used 63g of the 120g. I knitted this shawl on 3.5mm needles. Like all Monika's patterns, this was very easy to follow and had I not had so many interruptions it would have been a very quick knit.

Beautiful work. I too like her patterns...just can't knit fast enough to keep up with her designing them. You have motivated me to start this shawl. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely shawl, beautiful pics!
I finally took pictures of my Magelaes (or what it may be called) and put the picture in my blog. To my surprise I could post pictures again! Now I'll try to write more often. Seeing your photos made me doubt if we talked about the same shawl, though...
