I love the texture of your shawl. I tried to figure out a pattern I saw last year that was not intarsia, but knitted all in one piece/colour. You knit purl circles on a stockinette base....does that even make sense? I loved the texture of that one too.

Given the length of time it took you to finish, I admire you for discipling yourself to finish it! You are an inspiration to many of us!!

It’s nothing spectacular. It was the only idea I had to use up the skatey-eight small balls of a strange synthetic yarn. It was terminally boring, which is why it took so long.

The thick-n-thinnest nature of the yarn resulted in the interesting ‘bubbles’ in the fabric:

I admire the fact you stuck with it! I don’t think I would have! Enjoy your shawl. Beautiful!
