I have finished my Phoebe shawl and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I used Debonnaire Shimmer Lace as the base yarn and then Sublime Kid Silk, Fyberspates Cumulus and some Kid Mohair I had given to me years ago in exchange for some pattern books. These all worked to a similar thickness and I think compliment one another well. The last inch or so was the base yarn held three strands. There is a small amount left. I'm glad I stopped when I did as there definitely wouldn't have been enough for another two rows.
Its a very simple to remember pattern once set up and makes for an easy knit whilst watching TV. I like the way it sits on the shoulders and is shaped around the neck - I borrowed my husbands shoulders for the back photo.
I now need to finish that summer top, though Jess has asked for a Unicorn Hat and Gus a sweater with traffic light colours, so I have plenty to be going on with.
Right best get on I have some ironing to get done. Keep Cool
