knit Snowmelt Shawl by Helen Stewart - yarn tamiwicolours, Dublin dye, drops
This pattern was an amazing gift as I have NEVER took part in any Mystery Knit A Longs before. I haven't completed this one on time but this wasn't my goal. Snowmelt Shawl by Helen Stewart is a huge shawl, I call it half circle and because of it's shape it is hard to make sure you have proper number of stitches. I started lace section without checking it - please learn from my mistakes. I had to frog a bit of it and to do that it took me a while - I really do not like frogging. However, once is on your needles it is a very, very long knit. I love the final efect and colours that I picked. I am happy that I could knit it as I don't know if I had enough courage to pick it.
I hope you watched video first and you know that it took me a while to knit this shawl but I love final effect and I am still very happy that I managed to knit it and finish it. Things happen and even a bit of frogging needed to be done over here too.
