Notes

Needed a simple ‘don’t need to think’ knit and this fit the bill nicely. Hope to use it as a Hogswatch gift for a friend of mine.

I call this the ‘never ending’ project. But it finally did. I ended up using a LOT more yarn than the pattern called for :( and was thankful I had extra in my stash. I also used the Infinity Knot lace charts for 5 of the panels around the edge.

This yarn expanded a TONNE when wet! I ended up with more of a shawl than a shawlette. But, in retrospect, it’s probably a good thing since the intended recipient is broad shouldered like myself. I like the way it fits on me so I’m going to go with it. I had already gone with a bit larger gauge to accommodate for this (~5 sts per inch) but I must say that I’m very pleased with the final result.
