NOTES

I was a little confused at first, as I thought that this was a colorwork project. Really, though, the pattern is the result of a slipped stitch pattern.

My (A) color was dark gray and my (B) color was light. I used speckled yarn which caused the pattern to look more variegated. After some doubts, I decided I liked the effect. The bind-off method was challenging at first, but I eventually knit the bind-off using the (A) color in my left hand (Continental) and with the (B) color in my right hand (English).

UPDATE 10/2020: I love the design, but I don’t wear it as frequently. I like my shawls to be longer, so that they can wrap around my neck and stay on better.

FINAL THOUGHTS

I liked the pattern, but I wish the finished shawl were longer. I would knit again, but I would keep going with repeats to extend the length.

NOTES

My gauge was the same as the pattern. For this project I knit the sweater using stash yarn and I experimented with a Greener Shades dye kit purchased from Paradise Fibers. I dyed the entire sweater after it was knit up. Next time I will dye the yarn first.

I really enjoyed this quick knit. The fit was perfect, except next time I would lengthen it so it is not a crop. Unfortunately, this pattern has been discontinued by the designer and it is no longer available as a download on Ravelry.

UPDATE 10/2020: This sweater is much loved and worn, but pills like crazy now.
