My Fichu Experiment is done

For a few weeks now I have been wearing my finished Fichu-Shawl and it is getting compliments, and "I want one", 'My aunt would really like something like that', 'Wauw this looks great on you', and so on.

I've decided, for people that read my blog and for people that know how to connect from the ravelry.com project to the blog, to re-post the already 'free' pattern ( Anleitung, in German).

Here are a few pictures of the one that I have made out of the yarn purchased in Muenchen, Germany last year: Filigran from Zitron.Since the yarn is lace weight and the needles I have used were 4.2 mm ( between a 6 and 7 US size) the finished Fichu-Shawl is light and airy.  The whole shawl just feels so European, I wonder why?



I have used the one on the right , color name is
FARBENWERK 06



Here you can see the Pearl pattern



On a green, or black, or red, or yellow, or orange, or brown
back ground it will always impress



The wing-view



this is the best color view

















The original was made with a yarn group 4 medium yarn and the finished shawl is much larger and covers neck, shoulders and then some.
The yarn makers website has the image that I fell for.

If you know German the "ANLEITUNG" is available on this website. If you don't know German, well, I might be persuaded to translate it. he he he 
Just leave a comment and I will get back to you!
Oh, what I also wanted everyone in San Diego to know: there is a small yarn store in La Mesa named YARN and THREAD EXPRESSIONS, 7882 La Mesa Blvd., that actually carries Zitron yarn. When I visited the store for the first time, just about a month ago, I found a few skeins of the Filigran lace weight in the store. I have noticed and remember. It was not the colorful version that I have used, but the yarn is available and someone might want to make this Fichu-shawl in a more green/yellow/orange version.

It is a friendly store with a wide variety of yarns. Almost every chair around the table was occupied with a knitter.
