Joining Gradient Shawl KAL on Ravelry

Posted by Jenn in All Posts, Knitting, Knitting A Shawl | 0 comments

Today is the official start to our Spring Break (2 weeks holiday) and it is also the start date of the Gradient Shawl KAL 2016 on Ravelry.   The KAL hostesses are Cheryl (cheryllfaust) and Christine (Christine260).

 

 

Some KAL Details are:

• Start: September 19
• End: October 23
• Knit any of these four designs by Melanie Berg of Mairlynd: Solaris, The Joker and the Thief, On the Spice Market, January Skies

 

I love all 4 designs but have chosen to knit On the Spice Market for this KAL.  I have chosen to use Holst Garn Coast which is a 55% Merino Lambswool/45% Cotton blend yarn.  It feels so soft and hopefully it would be suitable for the temperatures here in Brisbane.  One of the best thing I love about this yarn is that it’s already wound for me!  Yay!  I can just jump in and start casting on :).

I am hopeless at choosing colours but I have finally decided on these 6 colours with off white yarn.  I originally had a darker pink/purple and darker blues but I had to substitute a few lighter colours as my local yarn shop ran out of the colours I wanted.

 

Can’t wait to start!  You can find out more information and join in the KAL in designs by melanie berg group on Ravelry or in the Gradient Shawl KAL discussion board :).
