My first FO off the needles this year was a sample knit for Knitted Wit!
The Vesna Shawlette is a Shannon Squire design, easy to knit, though you do have to pay attention. Knitted Wit provided two skeins of her 100% Superwash Merino Fingering. The colorway is Sphinx, very Ravenclaw with it’s deep blue and bronzey-gold!
It’s an asymmetrical shawl, so a funky shape to try and photograph. I didn’t alternate skeins and didn’t have too much pooling. An occasional flash of color, but that’s more likely due to knitter style – either I relaxed or tensed up while knitting. I really like how the colorway played with the stitch pattern – micro-striping in some spots and looking feathery in others (more Ravenclaw).
I’m super happy with how this turned out. I do love sample knitting for the opportunity to play with patterns and colorways I might not pair on my own. I’m hoping to take on a few more sample knitting jobs this year, stay tuned!
