Notes

Finally out of my “no knitting” slump. Glad this was the first project to get me back into the swing of things. It’s easy and finishes beautifully.

UPDATE: 11/21/2013
Please note that the instructions for the Weaver’s Wool Mini Shawl indicate a final length of 350 yds using DK weight yarn. Mine will be about twice that length for a nice long wrap around. It was a bit tricky changing colors here because that first stitch is slipped. I’m wondering if I should have just knitted the first one normally to make a smoother transition to the next color. As I transition back to brown I’ll see if that is doable.

UPDATE: 11/23/2013
O.k. when changing to another color I highly recommend knitting instead of slipping that first stitch. It will look more uniformed. Lesson learned.

UPDATE: 11/28/2013
Finished. I just need to weave in the ends. Not sure about blocking it yet. It drapes nicely so might leave it as is.
