Hygge CAL: Week 14

Are you ready for the final part of the Hygge CAL? Last week you finished your beautiful shawl! I hope you are as happy with the shawl as I am. For the finishing touch we’re going to line the shawl. Not only does it provide some extra weight and hides the embroidery ends, but it also helps with the rippling of the edge, if the blocking hasn’t taken care of that yet.

I want to thank you all for participating in this CAL. It is heartwarming to see the enthusiasm with which you have embraced the embroidery and I hope to see many more of your creations inspired by this technique!!

Tips

Pretty much all tips are already in the document. I would like to emphasize that it’s important to have washed and ironed your lining before you get started. Fabric (especially cotton) often shrinks during the first wash and you don’t want that on your shawl. Furthermore, I’m in no way a professional seamstress. So if you want to line your shawl in another way, go for it! There are multiple ways to Rome, as they say.

Also, don’t fret that you haven’t used the extra’s that are provided in the kit, such as the charm and the button. I was not intending to use these on the shawl. Instead, keep an eye out next week for any bonus patterns you can make with the leftovers…. ;)

Details

The kits are for sale through various Scheepjes retailers, such as Wool Warehouse. The pattern will be released from February 15th 2017 in 14 weekly instalments in the Facebook groups, and on Scheepjes.com. To help you understand the patterns, the fabulous Esther from It’s all in a Nutshell has made videos for the techniques used in this CAL. You can find her videos on her Youtube channel, It’s all in a Nutshell Crochet.
