Recently I realized that I don’t talk very much about my own knitting here, and maybe that’s because I knit a lot but I don’t seem to finish a lot. Or it takes me months and months to finish a project I started with great enthusiasm.
I want to both start finishing more projects and talking more about what I’ve been knitting, so to start it off I want to share with you my Rainbow Dash shawl, from a pattern by Benjamin Matthews.
This is a really easy knit — Garter Stitch with increases on every other row — but it did take a little longer than I expected because those rows get really long by the end.
Still, I had a lot of fun knitting it, and it went to a friend of mine who loves rainbows and just started chemo. I definitely want to make one for myself, too.
I knit mine all in wool so it’s super warm and squishy, but the original was worked in cotton yarn and that would be great, too. You can see all the details about mine on my project page on Ravelry.
The pattern is $6 or can be purchased as part of an ebook of 9 patterns for $18.95.
What have you finished lately? I’d love to hear about it. (You can also share pictures on my Facebook page.)
Absolutely beautiful!
