I am so very excited that I finished my Stripe Study shawl. The first mini-collage was right after I cast off. This was my second project as part of Camp Loopy with The Loopy Ewe. The pattern is so straight forward and perfect for tv-knitting, if you do that sort of thing. This was my first time to use Kauni and I would use it again. This yarn, being 100% wool, is a bit more on the sheepy-rustic side. I did occasionally find small bits of vegetative matter in there and as the humidity picked up I felt like I noticed more of a sheepy smell. After a bath in Eucalan (Wrapture), it smells less sheepy and is a bit softer. I absolutely adore the way the colors are so saturated and this gradient colorway. I would seek out Kauni again for other gradient projects. I really would love to get my hands on the rainbow colorway!
The last few rows seemed to take forever, but this project does really move along and I think having a color-changing yarn helped keep my interest. Now comes the challenge (for me) – how the heck do I wear this thing? As my husband said “It’s not symmetrical.” Yeah, I knew that when I started, but I’m realizing it makes it tricky to wear. It is cozy over the shoulders so I may just wrap myself up in it, or go bandit style.
Jackson approved!
Love the colors in your shawl and how the gray stripe sets them off. Very pretty!
Love it! I love the color depth. So gorgeous. And dog approved too!
Your shawl is gorgeous! I love the colors. If you search on pinterest for “how to wear a shawl” there are tons of options. Maybe you’ll see something you haven’t thought of.
