Pattern: Forest Canopy Shawl by Susan Pierce LawrenceYarn: Jojoland Melody in Dust Red Light Brown
Needles: 4,5mm inox circs
Size: pre-blocking 95cm x 50cm and after blocking 145cm x 65cm.
I would have liked it to be a bit bigger but I only managed an extra couple of repeats; the long rows on the last few really start eating up the yarn. I do so want a blanket sized shawl that I can wrap myself up in. There are a few in Victorian Lace Today that are huge and impressive, so if I get started soon I might have one finished by winter... with no commitment to which winter....
To give an idea of size, here is me out in the garden with it. Please excuse the scruffy hair.

Oh it's lovely! I'm about to make a Forest Canopy. That's when I've finished my other commitments or when I can't resist the yarn anymore!
Can I just ask how many balls of Jojoland you used?
I love this, I haven't made one yet but after seeing yours I'm tempted. Well done

Never boring to see gorgeous work like your shawl - beautiful. And it's great to see different yarns and how they work - Jojoland needs my further attention now !
So using you for scale it's about a mile across? :)
Watch it, hoob! :(
I adore this pattern and doubt I will ever get fed up of looking at them. Yours is gorgeous, and I love the way the yarn colours have come out.
Thats a beautiful shawl and the colours look great. As Piglottie says it's that nice a pattern who would tire of seeing it?
I love the colours of your new yarn aquisitions as well!
It looks gorgeous! - I'm with you on wanting a moster sized shawl for winter though - and also with you on not stipulating which winter!!!!!
