On the Needles

This is Easy as Pie, the first knitting project I’ve done in about 10 years.  It really was pretty simple and would be gorgeous in the Jaggerspun that I have, but I couldn’t get it started, so pulled yarn that I could find from my stash — Plymouth Encore in Gray.

Since the gauge was off, I thought I’d knit a few extra repeats to make it bigger.  That was a great plan, but after the 2nd skein I realized I couldn’t do many repeats and the shawl would be small.

Lack of yarn also meant that I didn’t make the border as wide as designed.

Bottom line, it’s too small for me, but that’s OK.  It was fun to make and now I really want to make it from my Jaggerspun 18/20 wool/silk.

One Thought on “On the Needles

  1. It looks very pretty to me and the size looks good too. Is this one of the patterns on Ravelry?
