Sometimes a project just comes together.
It starts with a tiny triangle
That grows
And grows
And grows
And before you know it you're blocking a shawl
Add some fringe
And you've got the happiest Pork Chop ever.
I think she and her neon fringe will be very happy together.
I am so in love with this combination of pattern and yarn. The entire project took five days start to finish. Just over three to knit. One to block (side note: can you believe how responsibly I blocked this? A few hours in a bowl of water and it was on the floor for the cat. What has gotten in to me?). And a few hours on day five to fringe. At first I was concerned that there was too much yellow-green at the top, but we combined the blue from two skeins to create the corresponding huge stripe of blue. I think it balanced out beautifully. And the neon fringe is probably my favorite part.
Because FRINGE.
It was knitting magic.
I just so happen to have two rolls left in my stash in the "Pegasus" color way
I am tempted to knit this a third time.
So very tempted.
I just need to decide how to organize the stripes/fringe. I may need a third skein so I can make the fringe all that deep teal color *gazes at yarn with starry eyes dreaming of deep teal fringe*
Maybe...
