Pan’s Shawl: Cast On!

Last week I decided that I needed a mindless knit to work on while watching football games so I cast on one of my one-skein garter stitch boomerang shawls using this wild skein of yarn.  I’ve had this skein caked up for a while now, with the intention of using it in one of my one-skein garter stitch boomerang shawls.  It was purchased back in 2020 during the Coved pandemic craziness by Laura of the Unique Sheep.  She made a set of colors, this multicolor one, plus solid colors that go with it.  The colorway name is, imaginatively enough, Pandemic 2020.  In picking the name for the project I went back to the origin of the word, the god Pan.  There is a dark red solid skein in the set that I will probably use as the border.

Pattern:  Improvised (garter stitch boomerang)
Yarn:  The Unique Sheep Kiri
Needle:  US 5 (3.75 mm)
