Good lord. I decided to do a blog post about my latest project completion. That was about an hour ago. For some reason, something happened under the hood, and the directory where the photos were supposed to upload got changed to a non-existent directory name. It took me over an hour to figure that out and fix it. So here we are. I have a finished project, and I’m not quite as excited about it as I was an hour ago.
Project Details:
- Pattern: Sharon Air, by Casapinka
- Yarn: Plucky Knitter Lodge Fingering
- Started: August 12, 2022
- Finished: October 1, 2022
- Needles: US 5
- For: Me
- Modifications: None that were intentional. I forgot a whole section on one of the side ”wings”. I just did it out of order when I figured out why my shawl was a lot shorter on one side. I added a few rows on the second wing since they weren’t quite the same number of rows on each side.
- Rating (Pattern/yarn) *****/*****
- What I Learned: I had to change colors MANY times, on this, so got pretty good at that. This also taught me to dig around in the stash before I go buy new stuff. There is some pretty fine yarn in that stash of mine.
I really love wearing shawls like this. I tend to always be cold in the non-summer months (and sometimes in our summer months). It’s nice having something to wrap around my neck to keep warm.
I also really like this yarn. It’s a linen/wool/silk/cotton blend, and is very light and drapey. I bought a single skein of four different colors, and this was the perfect project for it.
I L.O.V.E. This!! I’m looking for a new shawl to cast on too!
The green you chose is so rich, just lovely. Wonder if you ever track the hours you spend on a project? I think you will absolutely live in this shawl now that autumn is here. Not sure where you are.
How frustrating about the photo thing, but worth, because wow, that shawl!
First big laugh of the day: “I’m not quite as excited about it as I was an hour ago.”
Thanks!
That is a FABULOUS shawl!
