Reverberation Shawl - Two Colors Done

 

I finished up color 2 yesterday.  I was not able to complete the entire section as written in the pattern.  You can see in the picture the tiny bit of the green that I have left over.  At the end of the first color there are 114 stitches on the needle.  You continue increasing with the second color until you get to 130 stitches.  That is an increase of 16 stitches, and each repeat of the pattern gives you 4 stitches, so that means 4 repeats to get to 130 stitches.  Then the instructions state to repeat the pattern 7 more times - 28 rows total.  I’m two repeats or 8 rows short.  I had seen a comment on one of the project pages on Ravelry about making sure you get gauge and yarn chicken.  I did not do a gauge swatch, but am using the recommended needle size and am knitting pretty tightly (and am not seeing any rowing out on my wrong side, yay!).

For this pattern I’m not concerned with the fact that I had to cut this section short.  It is easy to shorten a section to adjust to yarn usage, so I’m not sweating it.

Reverberation Shawl - Cast On and One Color Done

 

Having finished up a couple of projects I obviously needed to cast on something new, despite the fact that I currently have twenty WIPs on my Ravelry project page.  This one is The Loopy Ewe Advent Kit from 2019.  It was a bit of an odd one in that the bags had no numbers on them, you could open them in any order you wanted to, or all at once.  I can’t remember for certain what I did, but I probably opened them all at once.  It came with a pattern, the Reverberation Shawl by Debbie O’Neill.  Here are the mini skeins, which did not come with any labels at all, no yarn type, no color names.  I deduced from other clues that the yarn is Sweet Georgia Yarns Tough Love Sock, and I think the order in the picture is the order that I’m going to use them in (going from left to right), although I reserve the right to change my mind.

The Advent set also came with some notions:
