Notes

Impossible to resist this colour-combination…

I started this as a Color Affection, and changed my mind to make a Happy Street. I want a blue shawl with some green, so I knit and see if I like the outcome… Maybe changing my mind again… ?

**
Did not change my mind, and am very happy about it!
A HUGE shawl, wingspan 280 cm ! Depth: 35 cm


Notes on pattern:

  • I recommend to pick up the wraps, even if the pattern says you should not. With my yarn (single ply), the wraps makes small holes, which give a certain something, so I don’t bother, but I suppose it depends on what kind of yarn you are using. Perhaps a wooly 4ply will blend out the holes? But… the holes are not really an issue after blocking. You can see them, but as long as your knitting is regular, it’s ok :)

Yarn left:
Baltic: 27 g
Oceana: 39 g
Grasshopper: 18g
Does not reflect what the pattern use since I had some additional stitches on the needles when I began the first stripe section. I.e. I have used more yarn.

Yarn was bleeding alot while soaking! If you are thinking of using a combination of very dark and very light colours together, soak the dark skein before knitting!
