FO: Ishbel

Look what we found in the city today! An honest-to-goodness phone booth with working door at the corner of West End Avenue and 101st Street. Vespa on the street is an added bonus.

Pattern: Ishbel by Ysolda Teague [Ravelry link]
Yarn: Malabrigo Lace in Blue Surf (0.9 skeins)
Size: Large
Needle: US5/3.75mm

Can you believe 2025 knitters on Ravelry have worked this pattern? Amazing. It is a lovely little shawl. I like the increases on both sides, which make it wider and shallower than most triangle shawls (and may use that trick in a future design). And the yarn is scrumptious, and I like the semi-solidity of this colorway. I can't wait for some cooler weather to really put this knit into rotation.

  1. Your Ishbel is beautiful - love the color!

    Ah, the demise of the pay phone ... not good for those of us who don't have cell phones.

  4. Absolutely gorgeous.

    And good to know Superman still has a place to change. (He'll still have to bring his own curtains.)
