{made} — sour apple milkweed shawl.
As soon as I saw this pattern I knew I had to make it. I purchased the pattern on raverly, started it with some multi-colored sock yarn I had actually dyed myself, but it wasn’t looking right. The color changes just weren’t how I envisioned it turning out, so I was on the hunt for a different yarn to use. This is sometimes tricky because I’m allergic to wool, which narrows the field a bit. Atlas, while home in Michigan for Thanksgiving, I found some linen based yarn to use in a bright sour apple green color.
I casted on right away and it became my traveling project while flying over the holidays. I finished it shortly after Christmas, so just over a month on the needles.
The linen is a tad slippery, so might keep my eye’s peeled for a fun shawl pin to hold it in place. But other than that, I am in love with it!
