Notes

Honorable Mention in the 2017 State Fair of Texas in the Knitted Shawl category!

Yarns:
1: Citron
2: Green Cat
3: Beach Glass
4: Morticia
5: Bye, Bye Blues

Two of the yarns have been in my stash for 7 years. Two others have been in the stash for 4-5 years. The newest shows that it was stashed in 2017, but I’m pretty sure that I’ve had it over a year! I feel good about using these!

For thin eyelet stripe in color 4, I ktbl. The result isn’t quite as lacy as the original.

This has been an interesting comparison of MCN yarns, The Kasmir seems absolutely anemic next to the Caper Sock. The Super Cash Sock is beautiful, but it’s so splitty! I like the Caper Sock even more than the Serenity 20, which is surprising because the Serenity 20 has more cashmere. Out of all of them, I doubt I will buy any more Kashmir. I’d much rather have the Caper sock or the Serenity 20!

Knit in ends as you go!
