It’s close, but not finished yet. I made it to the final color of my Hundred Acre Wood shawl, and the pink just pulls it all together and makes it perfect!
The “whatever” theme continues with this color: I over-estimated how much blue I had left, so I wasn’t able to do a baby fade with the blue and pink. And since I used more of the previous colors, I have more pink left over than I do rows in the pattern. I’ve added two rows already and plan to add at least two more. I’ve got my scale handy and will keep weighing to make sure I save enough for a picot bind-off, but I definitely want to use as much of the pink as possible.
Also, I need to show off my new pins! Katrinkles is doing a gift with purchase, where you get a free Vote pin with every purchase until November 3rd. I wanted a Vote pin for my Empower People cowl anyway, so this worked out perfectly.
I love them both! And the sheep pin has a magnet on the back, rather than a pin, which I think is a brilliant idea. I think it’s because they were more or less intended as name tags, but I just wanted a wee bonny sheep for myself.
Happy Friday!
Such a pretty shawl! I am working through a second sock this evening.
Those are neat pins/magnets! I love the knitting details on the vote one.
The shawl is looking great! I’m excited to see what it’s like finished and blocked out. 🙂
Your shawl is turning out so pretty! And very cute pins 🙂
You’re right, that final colour just makes it perfect – definitely go for as much of it as possible 🙂 I bet it will look amazing all blocked and finished.
