Notes

I wanted to jump on the triangular shaped shawl bandwagon, and thought it would be a great chance to play with stripes.

The story of why I named it Ex-Boyfriends doesn’t perfectly coalesce, but I had this funny image in my mind that yarn ends, like ex-boyfriends (or girlfriends, former flames, past paramours, etc), are not the most useful things, but you can collect them together to create a great story. Or in this case, a colourful and quirky scarf.

I used JSSBO, but I also think the Interlock Bind off will look nice. I will try that BO next time.

123 grams total

Unblocked: 82” on long edge, 30” on bind off edge, 11” at deepest point.

I did a gentle block, with no pinning.

Blocked: 82” on long edge, 38” on bind off edge, 14” at deepest point.
