A New Belladonna Took

I just finished blocking my Mom's Belladonna Took and it's so different from mine that I had to share it! I used a smooth, tightly twisted wool and silk yarn (Handmaiden Silk Twist) while she used Misti Alpaca Tonos Carnaval which is a fuzzy, alpaca/wool/silk/nylon yarn. Her's is like the Fall and Winter version with the alpaca bloom. I didn't photograph the fuzzy, snuggly look to the yarn very well, but you can see it in the yarn link better (still overcast, still with flash here). Also, she added beads on the second to last stitch of each Right Side row (just in the edging). Just a tiny bit of sparkle along the edge and the added little bit of weight that they give a shawl.

I love how different her Belladonna Took looks from mine and I just had to share it with you all!
