Inspired by the green I saw all around when we were spending a weekend in the Belgian Ardennes back in September, I started knitting a second Unilintu because I liked the pattern so much! This time I chose a heavier yarn and bigger needles because the lace yarn in my previous project was not exactly my favourite to knit with. I also wanted a proper warm shawl for the winter and I think that's what I got.
I added the border with grey yarn of a similar quality because I ran out of green and I like the contrast. I found the pattern as part of the "shawl en mousse et vagues" (available in French and English) and it was very easy to just add it to the Unilintu pattern. I'm starting to appreciate the simplicity of shawls which you can almost put together like lego bricks.
It's actually a Christmas gift (but I'm not saying yet for whom it is) so I will not be able to enjoy it for long but I hope the recipient will appreciate it as much as I do!
