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

    1. 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'
