Notes

7/21/12 Decisions, decisions. I’m not liking the green…way too bright. I don’t think the turquoise is going to look good with it. I’m thinking about dying some darker grey or black for the 3rd color instead.

8/1/12 Changed the green for a purple which was my original color choice. When I dyed the purple yarn, it broke into some lovely blues, pinks, and fuchsia’s…pretty, but not suitable for this project. I found a skein of SockEase in Grape Soda and will be using it instead.

8/4/12 Heading into the short rows, thanks to coach Lisa’s instructions.

8/10/12 Who know garter stitch could take so long. Oh well, I am determined to finish by the closing ceremonies even if I have to pull stitch marathon to get it done :)

8/12/12 Yea! I’m done. The shawl is blocking and should be dry in the next couple of hours.

9/24/2012 The shawl decided it liked living with my Mother…go figure. Who know items made of yarn had minds of their own.
