Cherry Frappe ShawletteSilk and Merino. I am continuing to use my stash yarns, ones I have been saving for something knit worthy. $45 + shipping (US only). Email or text me.
The pink and the multicolor are both 100% silk and the red is 75% Merino and 25% silk, so this is a pretty fancy and yummy combo to knit. 
I tried something different today, taking pictures with my tablet instead of my phone, because I have an older phone with a very small amount of memory and I constantly have to delete pics in order to take new ones. The tablet also makes it very easy to post to Instagram which is where I hope I will find the audience who is interested in knits and who will purchase what I am making. 
I keep working on this design, making tweeks, changing sizes, needles, yarns and color to make the best possible design, before I write out the pattern. I am getting closer to that final version.
While I have been focusing on fingering weight yarns, this one is DK and went a little faster and grew more than the fingering weight ones. I think the pattern will remain the same for each weight of yarn, but the needles and finished dimensions will change. If I use worsted or chunky, it would grow accordingly.
FYI, I knit the main body of the Shawlette and then go back and pick up stitches along the bottom edge to make the rows of eyelets and pico bind off.
fantastic
