Notes

Can’t wait to start - always love knitting this MKAL.

Clue#1: Whew, this is a lot of knitting. Love the shape though and I think my colours will work.

Clue #2: Love the cable, how unique

Clue#3. I felt my dark navy would be too oppressive if I knit 4 wedges of it and somehow spoil the balance of colours. So I’ve incorporated increasing wedges of colour in the navy - did some teal, then a grey which is close in tone to my Colour A (which I ran out of) and then ended with Colour B. Apart from some joining on the wrong side, it looks okay.

Clue#4 Kept the navy for the stripes and did the picots in my teal. Now just hope it blocks well as some of the stitches seem to be bunching up.

An extremely original and fun KAL which I’ve come to expect from Stephen - he hasn’t disappointed yet, although not sure how much wear I’ll get out of this shawl.
