Notes:
Mimi asked me to knit a sample of the One-Skein Shawl for the shop, and it had to be done in time for her to take to Stitches Camp. So Hurry!
I used all but about 10yds. Knit on US11’s rather than US13’s with three extra increase rows and one extra eyelet edging row.
This yarn is like knitting with kittens. It’s very soft with one ply of silk and a smaller ply of kid mohair. The halo isn’t very pronounced while knitting, but it has fuzzed up a little with blocking and wear.
