Last week I posted about our May knitalong – which features a bit of financial incentive for those who finish up by early June. If you want to see what others are doing, be sure to jump on over to our knitalong thread in the Fans of fibre space forum on Ravelry. Have you cast on?
The unreasonable person in me has decided to knit both shawls. Lucky for me, I had the Sundry project cast on before we launched the knitalong…so I guess I cheated a bit. I settled on a black and gold (perhaps Steelers themed) shawl that I can wear during the football season. Because I used fingering weight instead of a sport weight as the pattern calls for, mine is a little smaller than yours will be. But it worked up really quickly and I love that the slip stitch pattern in the middle looks very similar to the Pittsburgh check pattern that appears on the coat of arms, our flag and our police officers. Now if I could just get the tails woven in…
