This project is working up quickly, partly due to the fact that it is easy garter stitch and I can work on it while reading. Bruce and I are reading Naomi Novik’s dragon series, which are enjoyable, if not of quite the same caliber as
Spinning Silver or
Uprooted. We like the dragons the best. When I was working the stripes I just carried the other color up the side, but when I worked the wedge I knit the first stitch with both colors to carry the lighter color along and avoid having more ends to weave in. I like the look of knitting the first stitch with both colors and will use that for the rest of the shawl. For both methods I always stretched out the edge to make sure that it wasn’t pulling in. Now I work a similar wedge from the other side in the lighter color, and then I finish off with stripes to use up the rest of the yarn.
