Notes

Embracing my inner “chaos knitter” as my friend would say. I’m trying to use up some of my stash before I splurge on more yarn, so I’m combining two yarns of similar weight and hoping I have enough to make it work!

Honestly I took liberties with this pattern, and I didn’t particularly enjoy knitting this. Nothing wrong with the pattern, just not for me.

I cannot deny, however, that I am happy with the end result! I am keeping this—my first shawl!—and I look damn good in it.
