Originally published in partnership with The Sanguine Gryphon (sadly, no longer in existence) as part of their Film Noir line (hence the name), I knit this sample almost a year ago exactly (I think it was knit in July, but maybe August) mostly while in the Adirondacks. I love the way that the diamonds all fit inside one another and mirror each other, but then if you shift your focus the large diamonds become Xs and the focus is driven to the points where the lines cross instead of separate.
The pattern was just re-released about a week ago, along with the patterns for Zodiac le Plume and Parterre Garden, in case you missed it and are interested.

I don’t think I’ve really blogged about this shawl much. I sort of slipped it in at the end of last year as the last shawl for 11 shawls in 2011. The pattern has been patiently waiting for photos and a final edit, (it has probably been a couple months at this point, oops). But now that I have the photos edited, the pattern will be out tomorrow.
Much like the knitting for Spider Silk, it was an easy, comforting knit, that didn’t take a huge amount of brain power, but wasn’t totally mind numbing either.
