Now, this is my kind of shawl! Nobody’s getting this one. I did no blocking on this one. I really like the lumpiness of it. There were twelve rows in the middle that I skipped because I was at the end of the red and starting to go into the purple. I had enough yarn, but the look was so perfect. I didn’t want to spoil it. The leftover green will go into my sock yarn ends compartment. One of these days(years) I’ll make a jacket ‘a la’ Koigu oriental.
I’ve been working on my daughter’s vest again. Yeah. I wove in the rest of the ends and sewn all the seams. I couldn’t decide which color to rib the armholes. I laid the contenders out on the bed, closed my eyes and picked one. Very logical. Burnt orange won. I still don’t care for the collar and front band. I’m thinking about taking it off and putting something entirely different on it. Argh.
