Double yarn butler in the photo from canbeecraftyshop.etsy.com. Working brilliantly for the doubled yarn, although I find I do have to pull up slack when using fine yarn. When I use it with chunky, I can knit directly from the ball without extra slack. Also the row and repeat counter.

Finished the 7th repeat of chart B.
Used up the first ball of Moonjelly on row 4 of chart C.
Finished chart C
Finished the second ball of Kidsilk on row 4 of first repeat of chart D

Nupps were very hard with this fiber, and nearly invisible with the halo and dark color. I swapped for black beads.

Black beads also more difficult to see than I would have liked, should have swapped for lace

Also, this shawl is plenty big already, so I’m only doing 1 repeat of chart D.

Finished the 3rd ball of KidSilk on row 22 of chart E.

January 11
Finished! I’m so pleased! It covers my arms down to my elbows, and it’s not even blocked yet. I have less than 1/4 ball left on my Moonjelly, so I think if I had done nupps and the second repeat of chart D I would have definitely needed another ball.

I don’t actually think I’ll block it super aggressively. The lace is pretty open as it is, and it doesn’t need to be larger.

UNBLOCKED: 6’ wingspan, 3’ down the center
