Notes

Yarn
The Riot is categorised as double knitting yarn, but it was much more like a sport weight, and worked surprisingly well with the Corriedale.

Knitting
The pattern is very well written and easy to follow. Even with all the border stitches on the needles I found knitting very relaxing and rhythmic.

I found it worked well for me that when slipping the stitches I pulled a bit on the stitch to be slipped, to balance out the back strand and keep the fabric from getting too tight.

Shape:
This is my first 3/4 circle shawl, I can’t wait to wear it. It may become my favourite shape after the asymmetric bias knit boomerangs.

I am taking part in this KAL :)
Lots of fun and big help from Susan, when I could not decide on a colour for the border. Thank you!
