Notes

So, Mom loved the shawl that I knit for my sister last year and requested one of her own for Xmas. However, while I la-la-loved the FO, the process - read, those dastardly nubbins - was not one I wanted to repeat. Hence: Color Affection - a short-rowed, stripey thing in the exact same colors that I used for Kat’s shawl, but with 100% less nubbins.

MC - Marshmallow
C1 - Holly Berry
C2 - Planetarium

Mods:

  • Replaced M1’s (which I find tedious) with KFB.
  • On RS, added a YO after the first stitch and before the last stitch; dropped both on the return (WS) row.
