Notes

Natural Born Dyers Lustrous Myrka Winter Skies
101.49 at start
Myuki Union beads - Vitrail - 60 grams approx.

I loved everything about knitting this shawl from start to finish. The beads are there from the start, I enjoy a bit of garter stitch, the lace was captivating to knit on the front and the back sides, the s3kyk is a bit out of the ordinary and fun, and the picot Bindoff had a great little twist. Having flexibility in the number of final rows provided options and the ability to use up the skein. I was careful weighing the final rows and keeping an eye of the remaining yarn ball as it diminished in size.

Natural Born Dyers came through again with a gorgeous yarn!
