I have got to love my long time knitting friends. When I complained today that my current shawl project was taking much too long to finish. I am on the third section of four sections. Today they gently pointed out that if I am using lace weight yarn with U.S. size 4 or 2.5mm knitting needles it is going to take forever. Below is my current progress on the shawl. The pattern is 2 of 3 A Shawl Study, one of my knitting patterns, using 2 skeins of Zooey by Juniper Moon Farm. I divided each skein in approximately half. It is a cotton / linen blend. The yardage is approximately 568 yards for both skeins together.
You might notice that I did not use the yarn called for in the pattern. I always like encourage people to use what ever yarn they like. All you have to do is use the knitting needles that the yarn calls for. Then follow the pattern. The size of the finished project and the gauge will not match the pattern, but that’s ok it’s your creation.
The pattern 2 of 3 A Shawl Study by Sheri Karobonik Designs is available on Ravelry.com, Love Knitting.com or your local yarn store. If you buy my pattern, I will get a share of the purchase price.
