This will be one of the most ambitious projects that I have done to date. I have read the pattern several times and if I just take it slow and steady I should have something beautiful.
Beads:
- Will use a bicone Swarovski crystal as the North Star.
- Stars will be Miyuki Triangle- color Steel c-lined tri glass beads.
Yarn
Plan to use the lighter blue in the center and then use the darker blue at the edge. I know the sky gets brighter towards the horizon but IDK if I can have the colors go from dark to light. I will have to think about this further.
Decided I will start with light and work to dark. I may also add a 3rd color just for the boarder. Have to see when I get to that part.
<big><big>Project Notes
Haven’t even started and I am already trying to figure out which boarder I want to use. It is a toss up between using the Evenstar Boarder or if I will follow Ladymac111’s boarder instructions.
7/13: It’s a little fiddly to begin knitting at first. Part of that was I could only find my 8” long size 4 DPN’s. But I took my time. Finished Charts A & B. As the charts get longer I may add a st marker every 10 sts so I don’t have to count every row.
7/14: Finished Chart C. Now things are getting interesting. Decided I am going to have to highlight rows that I have completed so I can keep track of where I am since Section D is broken into 2 charts.
7/15: Half way through D charts I remembered I had 16” size 4 circs. Yeah! No more DPN’s at this point.
Finished D charts. E charts are broken up into 4 sections. Not only will I continue to have st markers every 10 sts but I have placed 3 additional markers to mark the end of each of the E charts. Seems like a lot of st markers but it helps with the counting. This way I don’t have to count every single st.
7/23: I am half way done with D charts. Would have had more progress at this point if I worked on this more.
7/30: Finished all of E Charts and am setting up the F charts the same as I did for E charts. I will switch colors here and move to the darker blue. I am also contemplating adding a TARDIS somewhere in these charts like lizapest has done. Have also decided to use the Evenstar Boarder. Why not cross as many fandoms as possible in the stars. I am also going switch up to a larger pair of circs.
8/11: Finally have half of my Tardis done and I am about 1/3 of the way through F Charts. Also decided to add a 3rd color for the boarder.
8/19: Finished the last of the charts and did the 2 extra rows of knitting as instructed. I am now switching over to another color and will begin the Evenstar Boarder.
8/26: half way done with boarder. I am seriously ready for this shawl to be done.
9/1: finally finished!!!!! Yay!!!!!!! There are a few mistakes when knitting the boarder but I can live with that :D
9/2: I thought it would be easy to block a circular shawl. In reality- not so much. After pinning and re-pinning for almost an hour I gave up. I have circle with some wibbly wobbly spots and I’m totally ok with that.
