Notes

Making a second test knit as I want to see how it’ll turn out in DK - it’s knitting up so squishy and delicious slightly_smiling_face and the pattern is so addictive I can’t seem to put it down!

This test was such a pleasure to knit, I ended up knitting the shawl twice! This DK version has turned out so warm and squishy and will be a delight to wear. The pattern was exceptionally well written and easy to follow - and written in a way that was extremely addictive to knit … just one more section, one more stripe etc.

The dark grey and pale grey yarns I used were DK yarn but the yellow was a plump fingering - this I chose to knit with a double strand which really made the yellow pop out beautifully.

I’d knit this again in a flash! smiling_face_with_3_hearts
