19-10-2015

Over the past weekend I completed section 3 and 4 and began section five.

21-10-2015

Completed first repeat of section 5!

28-10-2015

Not happy with Chinos as the last colour, I have unravelled it (argh, I had woven in the end too!!!)

I think Oatmeal will be the last colour now.

Finished this morning at around 6:45am! Immediately rushed outside to our desk to take a selfie and finished object picture. I LOVE this shawl. I’m calling it “Chilli Hot Chocolate”.

There were moments when I thought I couldn’t finish this shawl before the end of “Plucktober” but once section 7 was underway anything seemed possible…

May use the left over yarn for a “candy dish” cowl.
