I can see why you would want to call it, although it looks really cool, I imagine it would be ahem less relaxing than some other shawl projects can be.
I must say I had no idea what the seaweedy start of this shawl was going to end up looking like, but this was definitely not it! But as I said above, I do think this shape is cool.
I wonder if you could use the seaweedy first bit and then keep going with the same ‘look’?
Good for you for getting to this point! It’s so unique, to me it looks like a comic book/graphic novel drawing of a shawl. If the size is good where you are than I say there’s no harm in calling it done. When the muse wanders off it is difficult to push along without it.
I’m making good progress on mine, it’s now the width of my dining table’s length and now I’m debating how it will look with a border. I didnt think of it at the start, but the gradient cake will mean the lightest color all the way around the gradient color changes. But that’s what I have so that’s what it will be. Unless I decide no border…
I’ve done some shawl knitting in teams meetings and while the pattern is simple enough I must have messed up the increases. At least it was a symmetrical mistake I suddenly had one stitch left instead of two when reaching the middle marker on a eyelet row. I had to remove a k2tog on each side to get the right look,
I think I’ll double check the stitch count on both sides before continuing.
Edit: Yep, the middle marker is still in the middle
I started the Sunday Shawl yesterday. I’m making it in fingering weight cotton, though, for a more summery-weight shawl. If I keep busy with projects, I might survive visiting my in-laws.
Sending you all the extra “dealing with in-laws” energy I can muster, you CERTAINLY need it! I’m glad you can at least do some crafting, I find just sitting with yarn and daydreaming about future projects to be a sanity saver at times. Just watch your tension- rage yarning can be murder on gauge!
There is a new sitewide craft challenge contest. If you have made something inspired by this(or any other) craftalong, then this challenge is for you. Inspired-along 2022 lettuce craft challenge
I’m on the same wavelength, though not close to finishing lol. Started the Pastoral Lace Knit shawl by Patons’ Yarnspiration here. I stalled out after line 2 of the lace part >.< but thankfully stumbled on a youtube video that went over the basics of the pattern that helped me over my speed bump.
I’m about 80% of the way through the base of the Sunday Shawl. I’m excited to get to the color part! Not gonna lie, I totally ordered more colors from Hobbii.
I had to scroll up from your other post to see how this was done. I am so happy to see you tackling this - I have many similar ones favorited, but have yet to tackle one.
I finished the crocheting and have to block my fortune’s shawlette. I think I did the thing wrong so maybe I’ll call it “heavily inspired by…” haha
Pics once it’s blocked. :o)
