After finishing up my Capelet I pulled this project out of my WIPs pile and decided it was time to finish it. I had set it aside because I wasn’t sure how I wanted to handle the skein transitions. The pattern calls for “feathering”, also known as striping, and I’m just not a fan of doing that, so in the end I just went with my default method of attaching the new skein to the old and just knitting until the old skein ran out, wherever that happens to occur.
It has been a while since I’ve done an all over lace shawl, and I am really enjoying it. The yarn is really wonderful to work with, and I love the colors and the beads. This project has been languishing since December of 2016! I’m glad to be working on it again. I want to finish as many of my WIPs as I can before I start more projects, although I have already broken that rule with the Saugerties Shrug, but that is a special exception.
