I finished section 1 last night. I will confess that I did not work a gauge swatch - I typically don’t for shawls - but I was a bit worried that my gauge was too tight so I did a quick swatch this morning on a hook one size up and it came out too loose, so I’m sticking with what I have. I like the fabric, and if it comes out on the smaller size I can always work more repeats of the pattern sections to make it bigger and use up my yarn. Now I need to decide what color to use next. The colors I have used so far are Inflorescence and Fragrant.
I have the the next color caked up but I may swap it out for the green at the end. I am also still considering using the yellow as the main color throughout, just because it is such a lovely cheerful color. I am not going to cut the yellow yet so I can keep my options open.
Pattern: Zakret by Janica York Carter
Yarn: Expression Fiber Arts Blossom Fingering
