Notes

Participated at the KAL in Feb 2016.

15.02.2016

I love the color and how the yarn knits up.
Plain stockinette is just lever of difficulty to let my thoughts wander about my personal future plans.

22.02.2016

146sts on needle 22grams left of first color.

28.02.2016

158sts on needle - start color transition rows

Broderie anglaise pattern - markers every 6 sts are pretty annoying, removed them after establishing first eyelet row. Pattern is self developing.

Knitted 34 rows with eyelets which is 17 pattern repeats.
Washed and blocked.
Measures after blocking: 45cm deep, 217cm wide

After wearing a couple of times I must admit that pure Alpaca yarn is too prickly for my skin. The shawl will be gifted. The length, asymetrical shape and width are excellent for my needs. Already started a second one with Merino/Bamboo/Silk yarn.

Compared to the Merino/Bamboo/Silk shawls the alpaca version is such a lightweight fabric I like much better. A pitty for me that pure alpaca in my skin is prickly.
