Notes

Using Nova Cubics Platina needles, at least for the start.

Having only just completed weaving in the last ends of my previous stupidly-easy shawl, I was inspired to begin another after seeing this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=780&v=ybysK...

Then I saw this project: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/lazyknits/eidolon

Unlabelled ‘baby’ yarns - inherited from Sylvia’s stash or acquired in bags of yarns from secondhand stores - abound in my wool room. So, this effort to use up at least some of them has begun. The colours will be mostly whites, some pastels, fewer non-‘baby’ colours. Thicknesses will vary, hopefully going gradually from thinnest to thickest. Needle sizes will probably follow suit.

After the one-row garter tab, the ‘pattern’ is two rows repeated ad nauseum:
k3, yo, k to last 3, yo, k3.
k3, kok, k to last 3, kok, k3.
(kok = in the yo of the previous row, k1, yo, k1).
Unusually for me, I am not working a slip stitch selvedge. All first and last stitches are knitted.

I’m not thrilled with how taut the 3-stitch selvedge seems. I’m not ripping it out though, because I already have the next few balls of yarn lined up. Next is a light blue. Then another white, a dark fuzzy blue, and more white. That should be enough, if it’s not too much.

Next stop, washer/dryer. Then, storage until cooler weather returns.

I never did change needle sizes.
