Notes

Test knit for lachesis77.

This took a whole skein with inches to spare on the bind off. This is super cute and a super fast knit! I can’t wait to start wearing it. I did 21 pattern repeats stopping on row 3 on the 21st repeat. Note: I tend to be a tight knitter so you may be able to get more length from tip to tip than I did on the medium.

Pre-blocked:

  • 42” from tip to tip across the shoulders
  • 17.5” from co edge to neck (down the middle)

Post-blocking:

  • 42” from tip to tip across the shoulders
  • 24” from co edge to neck (down the middle)

03/18/10 - Blocking now. My version won’t have any fringe as it took the whole skein and I don’t want to break into the other skein just for fringe. This yarn is SOOOO freaking soft and smooshy! I love it. And what better way to wear it than around my neck, close to my skin. I know I’m gonna get a lot of wear out of this shawl!

03/17/10 - I’ve got about 16” done. This is knitting up fast.
