Notes

I let my creativity fly with this quick and lovely shawlette!
Omitted beads, though.

First of all, I choose KnitPicks interchargable circular needles in size 4mm for this project. Guess what? One of the needles had a screw problem. I contacted lovely people at KP and they sent me another set of 4mm.
Minewhile, I could not wait and picked second needle in size 4,5mm. And the whole project was knitted this way.

I love the yarn and, thought, since it has some bamboo it will stretch out, for sure.

I knitted a small size of the Bitterroot - the shawlette. It took me 3 days. Than I dyed it in KoolAid - two envelopes of Black Cherry.

I wasn’t very careful with the shawlette during the process - I wanted it to stretch! And sure it did!

When I dyed, wahsed and conditioned it, wrapped in a towel, and finally blocked, the size was - 32” by 73”.
Very nice size!
Very pretty color (first picture on the top gives most realistic color)!
