Notes

Test knit for Kristi.

Pre-blocked measurements:

  • 31” across the shoulders from tip-to-tip
  • 14.5” down the center from CO edge to bind off

Post-blocking measurements:

  • 38” across the shoulders from tip-to-tip
  • 18” down the center from CO edge to bind off

I love this yarn! The blue in the green is so pretty and it’s really soft! There was very little bleeding after the soak and no additional color loss when I was rinsing either.

This is a perfect pattern for someone that doesn’t like lace or is intimidated by lace. It’s really fast and can easily be made larger.

06/13/10 - Wow! That was fast! I did 6 repeats binding off on wrong side row after last increase. This is a super quick pattern. Perfect for instant gratification! The pattern is easy enough to do while watching television but those 2 rows of “stitch pattern” keep it interesting.

It turns out this was an extra generous skein of yarn. I only used on skein and still had 5 grams left.

Going to wash and block tonight! This is a picture of shawl unblocked.
