FO Fridays - The B2

I loved everything about this project. The pattern, the yarn, the finished shawl. This has probably been my favourite thing to knit so far :)


Close-up for details and proper colours.

All stretched out for blocking

Pattern: Multnomah
Yarn: Candy Skein Yummy Fingering
Alterations: The pattern only called for 10 repeats of the fan and feather motif, but I figured I might as well go for as long as the yarn would let me, so I added another two repeats. I might even have had enough yarn for a third, but I wasn't quite sure that would leave me enough yarn for the bind off, so I decided to play it safe. I now have 5g left of the yarn and am contemplating what to use that for :)

  1. Ohh I love the choice of color with this pattern. It's gonna look awesome when worn =)

    You could use the 5g left for the Beekeeper's Quilt ;) I just started and it's a great way to showcase leftovers from awesome yarn =)

    1. I did think of that, but as of yet I'm not making a Beekeeper's Quilt for myself. That may change in the future though ;)

  3. Simply gorgeous. I have this queued. I keep meaning to make it for my Mum...how big is it? Does it just cover your shoulders or is it quite large (my Mum's a big lady, so I need something large really)

    1. It's still all blocked out, but right now it's 125cm x 55cm (approximately)... don't know if it'll shrink a bit once I take it off the needles.

  9. I love how the shawl came out. And I would have done the same with the repeats, just keep gong until there is not enough yarn left.
