Notes

Started with 1 skein of “Crazy Yarn”… which lived up to its name. In the skein it looked like it would be a self striping yarn (see photo) BUT when I rolled it into a ball I realized it was just large blocks of various coloured yarns spun together to create a skein. A friend suggested this pattern for it & it worked out well. The skein made a very small shawl, so I added to it from my stash, trying to mimic the look of the “Crazy Yarn” by holding 2 strands together as I knit.

Pattern …. LOVE!!!!
Crazy Yarn …. Meh.
