Notes

This is my second color affection. Using the same yarn as the first time because it’s warm and cozy :)

Mods
section 1: 155 stitches
section 2: 13 stripes (added the red one)

I added a pop of color because the beige + brown + blue looked rather unspectacular. So I added some red yarn (leftovers from my daybreak shawl) to make the shawl more interesting.

I used the yo method again. Next time around I’d do a double yo at the beginning of each row in the third section. It seems to curl a lot. I might try blocking it.

I used Jeny’s surprisingly stretchy bind off using 4mm needles. It’s super stretchy - no need to go up a needle size with that bind off method :)
