As it is mostly garter stitch, I will cast on with 3.75mm, as a swatch, using the Yarnadelic Women in blue from JAT. I will use the variegated stripe yarn from Wool Chambers (just under 150 gms) as the majority of the shawl, and then change to Yarnadelic.

Started a tension test, by knitting beginning of pattern.

Not happy with the edge stitches, thinking about doing icord edge. My new yarn has arrived, no deep blue, but quite a bit of a dark purple, so should transition to the Indigo quite nicely, and A Night without Stars for the finishing texture and border on wide end.
Cast on again in the hand dyed, with an extra stitch added, which I am slipping (with yarn in front) on wrong side and knitting on right side beforecthe k2tog at beginning of row, this has stopped the roll and I am much happier with the tension, should block nicely.

Well into section 2, and the colour transitions are pleasing, fainting into a solid on the long row side will be great when I get to it. I intend a large shawl so will reserve half of the 3rd 50 gm ball for later.
Straight edge now 35 cm.
Started the 2nd repeat of colours in the 1st 50 gram ball, getting 2 and bit repeats of the colours in each.

60 cm across row, 90 cm long.

Finished the last of the the 3rd long colour transition balls, time to pick solids to finish off the shawl.
Finished the last of the the 3rd long colour transition balls, time to pick solids to finish off the shawl. Put my hands on the Yarnadeic in Indigo Dust colourway, and as I finished on the green of the other yarn, a fitting transition.
Sept 14th.
Knit 12 rows then transitioned from grey of last ball (2 rows) to the Women in blue.
September 18, 2025
224 stitches on needle, and just about finished another Indigo stripe.

Nearing the end of my Women in blue, so after the next colour change I will reverse my striping.

Blocked on 23rd Sept.
