Testing this beautiful shawl for Diana.
Love this pattern, an easy knit and goes so well with semi-solid/variegated yarns. This silk-seacell yarn has absolute high addictivity!

From tip to top it measures 40cm (~16inches).

The yarn knits up nicely on metal needles but for picot BO I changed to wooden ones. They made k2tog tbl much easier (as more pointy and sticky)!

What I just learned:
In Greek mythology Pemphredo was one of the three Graeae sisters (“grey ones”, or “grey witches”). It was said that they share one eye and one tooth. By stealing their eye while they were passing amongst themselves, the hero Perseus forced them to tell the whereabouts of the three objects needed to kill Medusa.
