Yarn: No idea, all scraps

This is their GoGoDynamo shawl, it was last years MKAL. The construction was really interesting, instead of starting at the center, the pattern had you start halfway. Made it a super fun journey and seeing the whole thing come together was incredibly satisfying.

A few humble beginnings beside some wips much further along

This was the first shawl I made, I used Drops Alaska yarns in three different shades of grey (as you can clearly see) and the pattern is the Birdwing shawl by Stephen West. It’s one of his older designs before his current style of chaoticness, I think it was around the time he began experimenting with more unusual elements and shapes in his patterns, it’s from a decade ago. I adore this shawl and honestly wouldn’t mind knitting a second one but with rainbow colours, make it into a pride flag project perhaps?

the shawl so far, and how far i have left with these cables. i grow weary.

BiL honestly thought they were real merch when he unwrapped them. Probably because of the tag, but I'll take it 😅

Knitting is apparently trending so i feel the urge to share with you the fact I knit a lot, and apparently rarely take photos of my finished pieces only WIPs (i finish things, i swear…)
