I'm trying to knit this shawl again. I got fed up with too many mistakes last time. But I got different yarns and am going to take it slow this time.

@KarenStrickholm Thank you! I am pleased with it, the purple was the only full skein and worked well keeping it all ‘contained’, but not dominating (I didn’t want a purple shawl - my initial aim was an overall ‘red’, but didn’t have enough reds to achieve that). l adore colour, but I am usually much more ‘careful’ - the 4 #Westknits patterns I’ve done have broadened my choices, although my favourite colourwise is one that is more tonal. I’m really interested to see yours when it’s finished.
Corrugation Shawl by Stephen West is finally taking shape.
Damn that’s a lot of stitches on a 40” needle!

@KarenStrickholm I love your muted palette! I wanted to join in with #AuroraCabinShawl but wanted to use up partial skeins so mine is rather over the top colourful and at first I hated it, but by the time I’d finished I was happy with my combinations born of necessity. It is huge.

I picked up my #AuroraCabinShawl #HKAL2022 after a break and my row counter didn't tally with my notes so I had lost my place. So I ripped out and started over, this time reversing the colour sequence as per Stephen's instructions. I finished sections 1-3 in two days, so I'm off to a good start!

@AsYetYarns OMG I spent the WHOLE DAY today in yarn world - winding skeins to halla, swatching, selecting colors. ! I'm doing the Stephen West of #Westknits #HKAL2022, which just began. We are making The #AuroraCabinShawl, pictured here completed by designer.
I'm down to two options for my version. Here is the 5-color combos I'm settling on So much fun!

Well it looks promising and I'm pleased with the colors. It's soft and squishy and might turn out to be gorgeous. But! It's going to be difficult to wear, because the yarn is prone to fuzzing and there are long floats. Singles were used for the prototypes, so I felt that choosing singles wasn't a bad idea, but heaven forbid this should get anywhere near velcro or any toothsome surface.

Initial swatch looks promising. Probably I will cast on this afternoon, since I finished a sweater yesterday. A lovely way to kick off the holiday season.
Cranberry sauce is done, stuffing is prepared, broth is simmering with the last herbs from the garden. The late autumn sun is shining, it's not too cold, and I have several days off work in a row. Life is good in this moment.

That feeling just before swatching when beautiful yarn is still pure potential...

Welts on the right chosen by me. Not too bad. Welt colours on the left chosen by son number one. This kid has a good eye for colours! #knitting #pengweeno #westknits
