nostr:npub17f8vp4xuksjrj99vx24935kuqgqftgq5lz35e7lrz00a2e52mwlsxfs2el I gave up on watercolour. everything is big, ugly, or both. I don't know why that's the only style they picked.

Had a look at knitting and found this. https://www.creativebug.com/classseries/single/knit-a-log-cabin-shawl it's let me download the pattern to keep. But seeing as you have ALL those credits... if you added it to your library if I got stuck you could look something up for me... couldn't you.

I like the finished shawl. maybe because it's green. I'm confused by the yarn weight and yardage. And her terminology. k1,p1 change every row = moss stitch. k1 p1 change every other row = double moss to me. what she's doing there I've seen as Irish Moss - which I like! - it's wee 2x2 squares.

I'm possibly reacting to the colour too much. I don't like garter stitch, I find it slows me down for some reason - knitting into a purl stitch is what it feels like to me.

Cascade 220 is supposedly worsted, but listed in some places as DK. and this yarn is 128metres/50g with a tensions of 18sts/10cm and that's just odd. That would be Aran. This is called Worsted, listed as Aran and is 200metres/100g. so 6x50g is 300g, so three of these would be short - she says you need about 700yds... I'm just talking nonsense!

But the slipstitch edge and welts instead of joining are sort of interesting.
