Details
Pattern: The Age of Brass and Steam
Needles: Size 9
Yarn: Cascade Rustic, Colorway 12, 2 Hanks (13 grams were left)
Modifications: 1 extra repeat of both the stockinette and garter pattern
There was a lot of dye discharge in the rinse water when I was preparing the shawl for blocking. I didn't think to throw some vinegar in there to stop the bleeding. I'll have to do that next time around. Other than that, the yarn blocked well.
You may remember but this is the project that I was halfway finished and decided to start it again as I'd messed up the pattern. I didn't mind starting again and am actually quite happy that I did.
Now it's time to think about what's next! Wishing you all Happy Stitches!

Just beautiful - congrats on the finish!!
Isn't it funny how we've gone in opposite directions in the quilting to knitting, knitting to quilting? I'm just casting on my first shawl tomorrow as part of Madelinetosh May. Your Brass & Steam is beautiful!!
What a beautiful shawl.
Not being a knitter (well not much of one anyway ) I had to go looked up "blocking" so not only did I get eye candy I learned something new today as well!
Beautiful shawl! You are a woman with many skills!!!!!
Lovely shawl and how good of you to have started it again. Beautiful!
That is really gorgeous! Perfect for those over-air-conditioned Florida rooms!
Very pretty. Grats on the finish!
Your knitting is beautiful!
I'm glad you branched out into stitching, Jackie, or I never would have "met" you!
Lovely shawl--you are definitely multi-talented :)
Beautiful shawl Jackie. I really love the color of it. And you know, I always forget to throw vinegar in the water until it's too late.
It's beautiful, Jackie! Should you find that it isn't cold enough in J-ville to be able to wear it, I'd be glad to put it to good use here in Iowa!
Beautiful shawl Jackie! I have been looking for an easy to keep track of where I am shawl pattern. Do you think this one is easy to pick up and put back down type of pattern?
Oh, it's beautiful! I love the color and the simplicity of it - makes it look really elegant. Congratulations on getting it finished, especially after you had to begin again.

Very nice and good for you for starting over. I have a really hard time doing that but maybe you're the encouragement I need. Your shawl turned out beautiful.
What a beautiful shawl - congratulations!
I love your new shawl! What a beautiful knitted item, you will have to wait until next winter though. Thanks for sharing!
You DO still knit, and it's lovely! Of course, you won't be able to enjoy it for a few months -- or maybe in the cranked A/C!
oh, that's a beautiful shawl, Jackie. Great job!
Very nice! :)

Jackie...I must be asleep at the 'comments' wheel.... I've just finished reading your last 3 posts and they are simply fabulous. I love your shawl...it's lovely. That charcoal color is one of my favorites.
Love Jenny Bean Halloween too. It's such a great design.
Then there's the quilting post. Oh how wonderful is that?? I had to get out the drool tissue so I didn't short out the keyboard!!
Love, love, love all of your work!!
OOh, Jackie, your shawl is beautiful! It looks lovely and warm.

Your shawl turned out beautiful. Glad to hear you're knitting away...in addition to the quilting. I love to see your creations on both sides! Have a great weekend.
Lovely shawl :-)
This is lovely Jackie. I used to knit but have done very little in years.
