Wardrobe Wednesday: River Run Shawl Finish
Long ago in May I told you about my trip to the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival and some fun yarn I picked up.
As makes go this one went much more quickly than I expected. I love the waves of color. I'm glad I decided to add the solids to the selection of yarns for this shawl. So much going on here.
It turned out a little larger than I had expected. Here it is before blocking (not that I'm sure blocking will do much for some of the synthetic yarns in the mix).
Free-form knitting is a liberating and terrifying in about equal measure. I'm really glad I tried this pattern.
As the pattern recommended, I used Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off technique. I recommend you watch a tutorial before trying this one. It isn't difficult, I think you should practice before you start mucking about with live stitches. I know I'm glad I watched it a couple times.
