@Leana I took mine to Maine over the holidays and it got a LOT of wear. (It's a surprisingly good size)

Most of my knits I give away. I've decided I'm keeping this one. I took it up north to my Mom's over Christmas weekend, where we had one of the coldest Christmas's ever. The shawl was nice and cosy.

One of the great things about this project, is that any progression of eyelets- stripes- blocks seems to come out beautifully.

I'm on the last section ( the seed stitch) How long have people been doing that section? I;m sure I'm not going to be knitting until my yarn is gong.

@DialMforMara the more I look at people's shawls, the more I like the design.

How big did it turn out after blocking? I'm not quite done, but mine is looking huge.

I've got one more eyelet to do in the first section in the MC, then i'm supposed to do another mesh block in CC and another in MC and then stripes and then the seed stitch.
But I just measured it, it's already 90 inches (228 cm) so I may cutting back to 6 eyelet repeats, and fewer stripes. I have a lot of yarn left, but I'm thinking it's getting long enough. octodon.social/media/X1fukJBzR

The 8-row eyelet sections are taking FOREVER.

@Leana I'm in the seed stitch section. I have to say I'm considering icord along the neck edge because it's pretty fugly.

@glasnt you could knit fewer rows? I know there’s at least one project on Ravelry that uses worsted. Also, I think there’s one other person doing who’s using heavier yarn. I’m going to see if I can remember who, so you can compare notes.

When the started, there was a request for another event in January to be about all fiber arts, with the name .

I've written up some plans here: gannet.neocities.org/yarnuary.

The broad idea is to share our yarn work—skilled and beginner alike—with the tag. I've also come up with some optional learning challenges.

Won't you join us?

@glasnt If you're a chart person, this might help?

I wish I'd thought of doing this sooner in the KAL. Oops.

(This shows the first few rows after the setup.)
