Finally another finished project to write about! I decided to take my unfinished shawl project (blogged about here and on ravelry here) to my grandma’s house yesterday so I could get some good quality knitting + chatting time in. I’ve decided to give this one to my grandma, and I have enough yarn to make another one for myself (matchy matchy!)
I decided to modify the pattern a bit by adding a little bit of an (attempted) ruffle edge. I increased the stitches for a ruffle, but then I realized that I only had enough yarn left in the ball to do one more row and then cast off. It turned out nicely though. Instead of becoming a ruffle, the edges just flare out a bit, which is perfect.
I think I’ll plan for a bigger ruffle when I do mine, but I think my minimalist grandmother will appreciate the lack of flounciness.
In other news, every time I’ve tried knitting this week, I’ve found that my new kitten has enthusiastically tried to “help.”
“kitty, I think I need my yarn back now”
