When I went to the Estonian Lace Knitting Class with Nancy Bush a few months ago, Nancy talked about the Greta Garbo shawl, which is the first shawl after the cover that you see in the first edition – it was fixed in the next editions.
It didn’t make the book due to there not being enough room, so she released it on her website the Wooly West as a kit. Of course I loved it and had to have the kit.
I ordered it first in the Fjord blue. However, when it came I couldn’t see it in this shawl and thought the red might work better. Poor Nancy, I emailed and called her back. She probably thinks I’m nuts, but your know, the red works and is gorgeous for this shawl.
Of course, I have no intention of returning the blue. The blue is gorgeous. I’m thinking the blue would work for the Miralda shawl. I figure this is good. I have the yarn for two shawls and I can’t wait to knit them both.
I think the red will be a perfect fit for that shawl.
