KAL for my Sunny Days Shawlette

Since my Sunny days Shawlette is free for the month of May, I thought it would be fun to have a knit a long where we could share links of our progress :)



So to get your copy of the pattern visit this page then post a comment on this post letting me know that you are part of the KAL -knit a long- and then check back once a week to link to your progress.

This is going to be fun!

I decided to spin the yarn for mine, I have selected this roving that is 4oz of merino and tencel in the most glorious spring colours. I have called it "Spring Meadow"

I have a new Ashford Traveller so will Use it for the first time to spin this yarn. I need to spin the yarn quite thin so that I can ply it into a fingering weight. I need about 300 meters for the smaller size.



A big thanks to my friend Linda of www.naturalsuburbia.com, for encouraging me xox

      Hi Lori!

      so nice to hear from you

      The final stitch count is quite high so I think the affect of the yarn will be lost, The Lorix5 colourway will be best used for a project with under 120sts.

      This is an open KAL so any yarn will be fun.

      Happy knitting
      Carle'

    Thank you for the free pattern. Am not sure what you mean by YOB. How is this different from a regular YO?
    Thanks again!
