Notes

The last installment of the first Westknits shawl club. Very easy just row after row of garter stitch with and increase or decrease every 4 rows. The hardest part is just keeping the various strands separated.

Honestly this is not my favorite design. I don’t like the shape. I’m not a fan of “random,” I’m more of a symmetry person.

I also did not love this yarn. One skein was just fine, but the other was spun very badly. It had many places where the plys had been allowed to wind back on themselves creating slubs in the yarn. It gave that skein a rough texture. I won’t choose to use it for projects in the future, even though the colors were very lovely.
