Notes

Saw Cassidy’s bundle of Black owned indie dye shops. Thought, “yes! I was wondering how I could support BLM with yarn…I’ll get a skein of sock yarn”. Just a skein of sock yarn, Right. Saw the MKAL kit of 3 skins of yak and silk accidentally went into my cart.

I can’t wait to get the yarn, I’m delighted to have found a new source of GORGEOUS colors!

Also delighted to have found the MKAL though Carolyn’s lovely kits. These colors, she might as well have been designing with me in mind!

I’m thinking about these colors as I remind myself to eat right. Lockdown food struggles, I need a focus, and hot pink against cream and pomegranate seeds variegated (with the onion skins and pink contrast) appears to be a good choice of focus.

I have finished the actual pattern, but I like bigger shawls, and mine came out just over the pattern’s 60”. So, I’m adding more sections following the format of the rest of the shawl.

added 6” of striped border, continuing the basic pattern of the shawl when I finished h pattern. It’s now 78” !

The last lace is just the middle of the honeycomb I’m using on something else. Super easy, every lace row the same. I thought the double YO would make it block wide, and it did. It also takes much less yarn, so that section is a few rows longer than it would otherwise be. The double yos are also every happy to block out into nice points.
