Notes

Love the pattern & Craftsy kit. Originally got black as the main colorway with the Purple Martin for the minis. But when the kit arrived, I knew the black was too dark and wouldn’t give enough contrast.

I am using Grey Cloak from The First Draft as the main color. I am hoping it is enough yarn! fingers crossed

Starting the last section. Have 12 to 16 the of the minis & 40 gms of black KP yarn. Would like extra length as possible. So may add some repeats if possible.

Finished

Not sure why I didn’t mark it completed. I still need to block it. But it is done.

Overall, I like it. But as always with shawls, I wish it were deeper. It is long and pretty thin. I kinda wish it were wider. I made be able to block it aggressively to get some width. But I think this is why I shy away from this type of asymmetric shawl.
