Shuffling off to Buffalo
The Heartland Shawl in fingering weight buffalo down yarn is done and blocked (just need to weave in those pesky ends). It's sort of difficult finding a good place to hang it to get a good shot...
All in all, a satisfying pattern to knit...very clever to make a lace pattern resembling buffalo hoof tracks. The buffalo yarn blooms nicely after washing and can be blocked fairly aggressively...very very soft and I'm a big fan of rich brown so the lack of color options wasn't a concern for me. I added 1 additional repeat of the main lace pattern as I'm tall and wanted a slightly larger shawl. If I use this pattern again in another yarn, I'd probably add a few more repeats.
