Herbivore is blocked and I love it! The shaping really makes this a functional piece. It sits over the shoulder and is more well behaved than a simple triangular shawl.
You can see what I'm talking about in this photo. Those bent sections really do make a huge difference.
This was my first Stephen West knit and I'm very happy with it. So much so, that I imagine I will be making another of his designs very soon. In fact, I already have his Spectra in my Ravelry queue, so I imagine that might be my next shawl.
More on this project at Ravelry.
The Herbivore shawl looks really nice. How many yards did it use? Was it pretty easy? I need to use up some of my fingerling/lace for a shawl and just checking some of the patterns out. Thanks

I just saw all what Stephen West has. Some are amazing for sure. Thanks and I need to do one of his as well. I have lots of fingerling yarn to use up. Love how yours turned out.

Stephen West has some intriguing patterns & this one looks great. I too would be interested in how much yarn it used & if the size can be adjusted.
