made as specified in the pattern, but subbed yarns, with double-stranded laceweight on the garter portion and a heavier sockweight for the darker hexagon.
This is a great smaller shawl to throw on.

Started for Madrona trip. 2.5mm needles were just too loose after completing the toe. Bought 2.25 Chiagaoo needles while there and started again. Much better! Adjusting the pattern to match my gauge and the yarn being slightly lighter. Plus, doing them toe-up. used TDTU heel from @KnittingRN, and started rib in center of the rows…
i loved knitting with this hand spun but it ended up being too curled up instead of lying flat. ripped to make the shawl shrug.
start mid-October for travel socks! yarn from Angel. CO 14 JMCO, increase every other round to 32, knit 5 rows even and increase one more time to get 34. somewhere gain an extra stitch for 35 😀 knit to 7.5” total foot length. 2 rows before heel, increase to 37 on sole, then one row…
this is only 360yds, so it will be a little shorter than suggested unless I decide to use a contrast color for the bottom edge. Chose other deep stash as complementary color. Amy ToadyJoe said it reminded her of a cherry blossom tree in bloom and I have to agree! size 6. BO 4/26/2013
Short rows in tunisian crochet.
not completely sure of the stats of the skeins. one was a prize, another was an early OFFF purchase that was never added to rav. tan yarn was 130g to begin with, and used all. blue yarn was 144g to begin with, and used 20g
