Ostrich Plume stitch, Linen yarn
Cast on for a linen shawl. The yarn is Field Linen from Purl Soho, stitch is Ostrich Plume (an Old Shale variation). Size 5 needles (yarn band calls for US 2-4 needles). 59 stitches: 3x 17 for the pattern, 4 stitches on each edge in purl garter (purl every row). The yarn is very nice - website says it is French linen spun in Japan. (Exotic.)
ps - The size 8 needles in the pic were too big - didn't feel or look right.
