Got the multicolor skein from craig, bought the coordinating skein. Didn’t do the bind off exactly as written, wanted a little more ease.

I found some self-striping yarn in my stash to join in on the Stockinette Zombie’s self-striping knit along for 2022. Using yarn that had previously been a shawl that didn’t work great for me! And then, being me, I’ve been expanding the shawl to be bigger based on how much yarn I have left.
