Once I finished the short rows, the stripes went quickly as well. After working the wedges I had 45.9 grams of Color A left, and 30.7 grams of Color B. I was able to work 7 stripes of Color B, ending up with 1.3 grams left. I was able to work 9 stripes of Color A, so I worked extra rows of Color A after using up all of my color B, ending with 2.9 grams of Color A left after the bind off. That is what I call a perfect project. I really hate having leftovers.
The shawl is a nice size and lays well on your shoulders. I will wear it to work tomorrow. I always pick out my outfit the day before so I don’t have to think about it when I roll out of bed at 5am.
I did block fairly aggressively, for me.
And I do like the way the garter stitch was opened up. I did knit this on US 6 needles, which is a size larger than I typically knit this yarn on for shawls. Jezebel supervised the blocking.
