Citation from the designer: Do you hoard beautiful, one of a kind, hand dyed skeins of soft sock weight yarn? I do too. This is the perfect design to use up all of your crazy, colourful yarns, remnants, bits and bobs, leftover yarns, and all of your prized special skeins too.

I agree.
For me it’s a great project I could fix my memories of projects I once knitted, or beautiful skeins I got as a gift but could not use it in a piece of knitwear.
Any kind of leftover can be used in a range from sockyarn to DK or laceyarn used double.

If you do not want to knit your memories of great projects in a shawl or a stole for yourself it could be a good idea to make colorful charity-gifts.

My cast-on was 155 sts. And I chose the colors at random.
A German Comedian named Torsten Sträter once said: something has not to be beautiful ift it will warm you. He talked about an ugly granny square blanket.

The pattern is exceptionally simple: only two different rows, mostly knit sts. No curling edges.

While knitting I made another experience: working with the yarns one after the other you can exactly notice the feeling when knitting. Some yarns slipped very easily over the needles, others stuck so that it took a lot of time for small developments.

You might notice in the pictures that there is a difference between washed and unwashed stole.
