I started this on 15 December as part of a Fair Isle Knitalong with TricotNordique. Over Christmas I worked hard on it and as a result the body of the shawl is now finished. Mind you, I had to redraw the pattern because it was so small and I could find no way to enlarge it. The designer was very kind and sent me a larger print pattern which helped but I was still making too many errors. In the end I redrew it on Google Drive and was able to mark in the stitch numbers on the longer runs. It's much easier to see a number 12 than to count the empty boxes!
All I have to do now is cut the steek and knit the borders. Easy? Hmmm, I suspect there will be over one thousand stitches on the border so, yes easy, but it will take a while still before it's finished.
The wool is Kauni Effektgarn and the pattern is Summer Shawl by Ruth Sorensen. I will post a finished photo in a week or two...I hope!
Très beau, j'aime beaucoup les couleurs !
Bonne Année 2013 !
