Notes

I’ve been wanting to knit this ever since I saw Åsa’s breathtaking ‘Jamie’s Shawl’. So I just had to do this, right? And I do love my yarn choice, it’s such a complex colour between dark teals, blues, greys, and blacks.

I’m officially running out of yarn for the small version, despite using smaller needles. Usually, I don’t use more yarn than intended, so don’t quite know what’s wrong here. Pulling in a similar colour for the finale and bind off.

Started out with 3.5mmm Holz & Stein needles, yet did not like the fabric. So switching to 3.25mm Signatures.

Unfortunately, this has been in deep hibernation for two months or so. Christmas knitting and the like took precedence.

Putting some beads into the mesh: Miyuki size 8/0 gunmetal
