Oh baby, you been sweet on me
Hey, my little honey bee
Oh, my queen bee
Rock me to my soul
Rock me to my soul, baby, baby
To my soul, oh.....

Pattern: Les Abeilles
Yarn: Woolen Rabbit Abeilles
Colorway: Perfectly Pear
Needles: US 4
It's no secret here that The Woolen Rabbit loves bees, so when I saw this pattern of Anne's I immediately set aside what I was working on to start this shawl and I will freely admit that I LOVE it!
In fact I love it so much that I named the yarn that I used Abeille, which stands for "Bee". This lightweight bamboo blend is perfect for a summer shawl for the occasional cool night. Once the humidity drops a little this week I will be dyeing up a bunch of this and adding it to the store. :-)
Thank you Anne for such a lovely pattern!!! Bzzzzz..............















What a perfect summer shawl! The color is luscious!

Love it! I'm glad that I got to see it in person though unfinished. Delightfully light and airy yarn. Great marriage of pattern and yarn.

Your knitting ability simply amazes me. It would take me a year to knit something that beautiful if I could follow the charts :) I'll definately have to try your yarn on something less complicated.
