More Triloom Shawls and a Triloom Color Gamp

 I have been working on this cotton shawl one for a while and so was happy to have it finished. It is cut strand, two strands of cotton, one a bit slubby. Done on my lace sett with a 5 foot hypotenuse.





Yeah, barefoot in January  in the new house backyard. It was chilly, but I got Mom to walk into the backyard to do the photos (good for her balance)...





My wonderful Fiber Guild, Fiber Guild of the Savannahs, is doing a gamp study. I was wondering how a "gamp" might look on the triloom. Again, on the lace sett 5 foot triloom, cut strand technique. This one went quickly. I chose some rainbow sort-of colors at the LYS, Unwind. (In Savannah where I've moved, I actually have two LYS. How great is that?)  This is a Jody Long yarn called "Andeamo" created from wool and alpaca.

I think that people really enjoy looking at color and at rainbows. I will do another of these.  

Here's a definition of a gamp from Lunatic Fringe




I like the result...she's quite warm
