Greetings from Haapsalu - Tervitustega Haapsalust!

Haapsalu

Yesterday we visited Haapsalu for the great event Haapsalu Shawl Day 2010.
It was absolutely wonderful time there, lot memories, beautiful seaside, lately renovated Kuursaal and lot of beautiful shawls to see and many nice people to meet!
It was nice to see the Masters, meet my teacher, Master Aime Edasi whom I some years ago learn how to love this traditional art and knit Haapsalu shawls namesake.

I had two of my shawls with me in hope to get them photographed and so we did, it was almost evening but still great lights, without sun but wind from sea- just the kind what makes the stay so romantic and brings up the ages of past and shawls and ....
so, this time I let my shawls show you the Haapsalu and it's voyage to ages past!
...
The Kuursaal, seaside, railway station museum in-and outdoor (previously railway station)- notice the name Haapsalu at end of platform, the roses, the atmosphere - and the real authentic Haapsalu shawls.

Paabusall II


Paabusall vol.2


Shorter version from Noro Kureyon. (200 gr - 2 skeins).
I just love this yarn because it's feeling like real wool and I also do love its color combination aswell. I think this shawl will be cape after getting some buttons and will do great for my autumn walks, too. All these pictures made in our home county.

Modelling: C.K.
Paabusall is designed by me and pattern is available for FREE download

Gold and Black



Finally something for myself.
I started it at 2009, but had too many projects in progress and also I had no good enough idea for edge lace design.
This shawl is knitted from rayon80%/nylon20% which makes it so fell falling and good to wear. No need blocking and very comfortable. I love Austremann Aura.
More updates soon and if I get moment I make chartpattern available.
Yarn:
Austermann Aura
Aran / 10 ply
