Notes

The stripes from cast on to cast off:

  • Juniper
  • Lettuce
  • Bronzed Teal
  • Cactus Nectar
  • Handspun TLS Yak/Merino in teal
  • Agave
  • Handspun TLS Yak/Merino in teal
  • Cactus Nectar
  • Bronzed Teal
  • Lettuce
  • Juniper

Amount of each color used:
Juniper - 24g/91.2 yards
Lettuce - 23g/87.4 yards
Bronzed Teal - 10g/38 yards
Cactus Nectar - 11g/48.1 yards
Handspun TLS Yak/Merino in teal - 22.6g/49.6 yards
Agave - 6g/22.8 yards

I’ve been trying to find the right project for this wonderful set of yarn since I first spotted it on Krista’s Flickr account. I left out the Green Ochre and instead used the handspun since I thought it just harmonized with the other colors a bit better.

This shawl is so lusciously soft, I wil have to indulge in these blends more often.

As to the pattern: it’s brilliant. The stripes are so striking, and so cleverly constructed. I love seeing all the finished photographs to see how so many different knitters have chosen to play with color. It feels like each one is unique even when people use similar colors.
