Notes

Uhm yeah. This was my April 12 Wollmeise in 12 months project, and I clearly failed. I finished this in July, I think. And I did add a few repeats to make the shawl broader, but since I’m adding the pattern notes a good six months later, I just don’t remember what all the modifications were. I did use an Icord bind off to finish off the shawl - I just a larger needle (4.5mm) to make sure the finished shawl wouldn’t pucker.

I really do like the finished object - it’s on the larger side, but nice and squishy. And I like how the colors work together - the Absinth is really bright but is mellowed out by the grey, and the dark green of the Pinie.

This Yarn Along project is finally finished!
