Notes

I ran out of yarn at the end of the brioche section (1 repeat less than required).
First it seemed that this colorway would not be available anymore and so I looked for another matching yarn for the border. The one I found was too thin and after two rows I frogged them again.
Luckily another participant of the Any Shawl KAL found the colorway in an UK online store and I directly ordered it. I needed the complete new 50g hank for the last repeat of the brioche section and the border.

I’m very happy as the result with a diffrent yarn for the border wouldn’t be so great as with the same yarn.

The shawl gets very huge in the end (3m lenght) so it will keep me warm for sure!

I’ve no clue why the original 150g wasn’t enough as I knitted with 0,5 mm smaller needles and the yardage matched. But I’m knitting much more looser as when I started knitting and maybe there’s a diffrence due to the yarn as well? Still learning! ;-)

That’s my first project using German short rows. Here’s a Video for this technique in english and one in german
