This project is part of the July KAL at the Boo Knits group. The point is to knit a summer-themed shawl so I picked this lovely linen yarn from Barcelona. Can’t wait to get started!

After knitting a swatch, I decided I wanted the heavier weight of the Euroflax for this pattern so I switched yarn at the last minute. Hopefully I have enough to do at least 9 repeats.

running out of yarn, decided to add another colour at the edge. Started with the yellow on row 9 of the edge chart. Total at the beginning: 127g

The contrasting edge turned out beautifully! It was nice to have the on the last row to tie it all together
