The secret is out

My swap partner in the Shawl Swap on Ravelry has received the shawl I made for her so I can now share the details with you. The shawl is Morgain and I knitted her with Tosh Lace in Dahlia on 3.5 mm needles. One of the joys of knitting this shawl is that you can stop knitting at any point. I continued knitting until I had about 4g left and then I cast off and was left with 2g of yarn. I didn't feel like playing yarn chicken and decided not to try and squeeze another row out of the yarn before casting off because the rows were becoming very long at that point. I ended halfway through chart 5. The shawl measures 158cm x 80cm.


I think my partner was pleased with her shawl.

Now I'm looking forward to receiving my shawl from my patner sometime next week.
