Sheena Shawl - by Jacquelyn Ridzy (FO)

This shawl was a nightmare to knit. The pattern had a number of errors that I won’t get into here but it was quite frustrating and thus I am super happy that it is off the needles and out of my mind for a while. I knit this up with my very own yarn in my Bulbasaur (green) and Chocolate & Caramel (brown) colorways.  Blocked out this has a wonderful drape and I know I will get quite a bit of use out of it this Fall.

I finished Westknits Mystery Shawl KAL 2011: Earth & Sky (pattern (ravelry) - my project page!!!  I actually bound off a week ago but finally blocked and wove in the ends last yesterday.  I will probably be gifting this to my mother for Christmas.  The colors aren’t really me, I was mainly trying to find colors in my stash that went well together.  

I’m pretty pleased that I was able to overcome my fear of intarsia.  I don’t think there will be any sweaters with large teddy bears on them in my future but I like the geometry of this shawl and am looking forward to trying more of this technique in the future.

Knit with Sunshine Yarns - Classic Sock in Raccoon Hollow, Rose Quartz and Red Hots on size 4 US needles.  Red Hots did bleed a bit during it’s soak so Rose Quartz is now more rosy, oh well. :(
