Even though I always have lots of projects going at once, when one of them gets close to being done I will often focus on it until it is finished, and that is mostly what happened with this shawl. Once I had found a good border color and a good bead color and got the border started I ended up coming back to it and working on it to the exclusion of the other projects that are high on my “to do” list. I am very happy with how this one turned out, and I’m also happy to be using up my old Advent sets. The rest of this particular set is really two 9-skein gradiances, although I could have used them as a single 24-skein gradiance, if I had wanted to.
This is the Queen Conch set.
The Sea Urchins set.
The Beyond the Breakers set.
The Beyond the Breakers set flows in to the Sea Urchins set (right most skein to left most skein) and the Sea Urchins set flows in to the Queen Conch set (right most skein to right most skein). But figuring out something that takes all 24 skeins is non-trivial. I’ve done it twice. For the two 9-skein sets I’m thinking about some short sleeve top-down pullovers. I’ve been collecting patterns.
