I made a shawl. My very first shawl. And it is pretty cool.
It is called Wingspan. I saw it on Raverly (it was trending) and thought, I could make that. Plus, I needed a shawl for my 2012 project challenge.
I used a very cool yarn called Rhythm from Jojoland. Love it. The color change is amazing.
So, first I read the pattern wrong and made the first section way too big. I re-read the pattern and re-made the first section, liked it and moved on (big mistake).
So my shawl turned out more of a scarf size. I did wonder why it worked up so quickly. I probably should have stayed with the larger knitting section I had first accomplished.
Oh well. It was a learning experience. I don't get to count this as the shawl in the challenge, but I do plan on remaking it in the shawl size in the same yarn...some day. For now I am happy with the scarf or maybe D can use it as a shawl.
Have you had any recent "learning experiences"?

ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat first section took me a couple of tries figuring it out. Once I got past it, it was smooth sailing. Love your yarn!
