I’ve been enjoying a bit of spinning lately and posted a few weeks ago that I was spinning for a shawl as part of the Spin a Shawl group online at Raverly.
Originally I was spinning for the Crow Waltz Shawl designed by Juju Vail of Loop knit lounge but after I finished spinning, I changed my mind and decided to knit Cladonia by Kirsten Kapur.
I started by spinning 3 oz of Corridale in the colorway Peanut Butter by Hi Fiber Kits and then spun the 4 oz of Corridale in the colorway Stetsons are Cool by Woolen Mill St Yarns .
I ended up with 136 yards of 2 ply in a light worsted weight in Peanut Butter and 208 yards of 2-ply in worsted weight in Stetsons are Cool.
Here’s a progress photo from over the weekend. After a very slight modification to Kirsten’s pattern, I have finished the body of the shawl and ended up with about 8″ of my Stetsons are Cool yarn. The modification allowed me to obtain the number of stitches needed to start the lace border.
This photo is from two days ago -
This photo was taken this morning and I’ve just started the lace border in the Peanut Butter. I really love how the colors are working together.
I will be posting a photo of the my completed shawl soon!
