Finally the Boneyard Shawl is finished! You can find the pattern at Westknits It’s a really simple triangular shawl pattern with easy-to-remember instructions, it was really easy to work on on-the-go without referring to the pattern so it was the only thing I’ve worked on for a couple of months, instant gratification knitting – no fuss
I knit it with Superba Poems Sock Yarn and 3.25mm circs. Unbelievably (to me) I knit the whole thing with a single 100g ball, making the yarn mad good value as well as being very pretty. It is slightly thick-and-thin and on a fine yarn this makes the “thin” really vanishingly thin so I was almost thinking it would break, but it held out, I think it’s supposed to be like that, right?
It’s a really nice shawl now it’s done, although the weather is too warm to wear it. I wish I’d photographed it before blocking to show the huge difference. It was one of those where, before I blocked it, I didn’t want to photograph it because it was just so “meh”. It is the magic of blocking, do not underestimate it!
