I finished this up last Saturday, but this past week has been a long one, work-wise, and I haven’t had the energy to post. It is a challenging shawl to get a good picture of.
This is the final clue. We could use any of our colors that we wanted, so long as we had enough yarn (at least 25 grams). The only two skeins I had enough of were A and C. I wen with A as I had the most of it and I did not want to play yarn chicken. The pattern calls for tassels, which I haven’t added yet.
Blocking wasn’t too challenging, I just laid it out and smoothed things into position. I only pinned the tail out (clue 7). My husband thinks it looks like a rocket ship taking off, others have seen fish or a mermaid tail.

Your shawl is stunning. Green and purple are my favorite colors. How did you make the little contrast stars? I love that extra pop
ReplyDeleteThank you 😊 I love those colors as well. I added three beads to each of the loops when I was working the wrong side row before I worked the p2tog.
