Pretty in Pink Linen

Happy Fourth.Cristi was over and she is such a perfect model, so I grabbed her. She is wearing my latest FO which has received raves everywhere I go. It is lovely thanks to Euroflax's marvelous linen yarn and Monika Eckert's wonderful design.
The reason this capelet is receiving so much attention is the way it drapes. It elegantly flows as you move in it. Again, thank Monika. This piece is shaped to fall this way and you shouldn't settle for less. Human bodies are never rectangular and never have straight lines. Neither will my knitting.
The sawtooth border is called Narrow Dice Edging and is found in Barbara Walker, book 2, p. 368. It's almost a leaf edge; I love leaves. I just knit to size and sewed it on.
The pin has celtic braid on it; found it on ebay long ago. I like how it fits the piece.

Here are some details.

Yarn: 2 skeins of Euroflax Geneva (worsted wt 100% linen) 380 yards
Size 9 needle.
Only steam blocked this--wanted a bouncy feel.
Pattern: Dem Fischer sin Fru by Monika Eckert

My camp in Colorado is planning to address shawls and shaping will be my main interest. Then I get to design.

It's all about the shape.

Okay--I hate triangular shawls because they don't stay on. Bodies are curvy--even skinny ones. If the clothing is straight lines and angles , it doesn't fit!! I have been on the search for perfect shawl shaping.

This is one way that fits my requirements. It is simply the top 65 rows of Dem Fisher sin Fru by Monica Eckert which was one of my KALs recently.
Once the capelet was the length I want, I knit 2 rows of garter stitch and bound off. I added garter edges at the two front edges and began to look for an edging.
Okay--I'm a leaf freak. Could be worse. Can't find where I wrote the source of the edging. Will look for it and post later.
Here's a close up. I'll just sew it on. I may make some cute closing device. Inspiration still hasn't hit about that.
