DETAILS
Pattern - Leaflette Shawlette by Stormy Autumn
Yarn - Adorn Sock in the Brannagh colorway from Three Irish Girls
This yarn was 430 yds; yardage noted for the pattern was 460. I cut it really close; I had 14 inches left!
Mods - the only modification I made was to cross some of the twists the opposite way from written. I wanted my lines to go over-and-under. I love it, though it is a bit pointy. I really liked the architectural quality of the cabling, and I'm glad I knit it. However, next time I'll look for something that's a little more fabric around the arms and shoulders where the drafts get me, and a bit less down the back. If you want any more information on this project, you can check out my Ravelry project page.

Such a gorgeous shawl, Karen! It reminds me of Fall - oh...is that coming soon?
Cheers!
Good grief that is a beauty! Great colours (warm and cosy fall colours) and a lovely pattern.
Wow so beautiful! I can't believe you managed to knit it so close to the end...14 inches! You must gave been sweating those last few rows!
