Comments on the project
I’m seriously amazed at how pretty this shawl turned out. The yarn was a bit iffy at first. I was worried that my skill at blending wasn’t quite good enough to sell it at the store. I noticed a few areas where the color didn’t quite blend and figured I’d give it a second dye bath after finishing. Boy was that ever a good idea, even if I was fretful it would ruin everything. It’s absolutely gorgeous now and I can’t see any color banding. I also enjoyed knitting the pattern. It was a bit more complicated than my normal pick, with some cabled twisted stitches and Japanese bobbles, but was still fun to knit. I decided to keep the chain stitch crochet bind off and while blocking loved how it looked when I didn’t stretch out every loop. I’m super happy with how this project turned out.
