I wanted to try the leaf shawl again, in a very different yarn, and see what happened if I just continued the pattern for longer. Turns out that it works just fine, though eventually you get to the point where each row is around 800 or 900 stitches and takes forever. Added to that, I was alternating between three different skeins for most of this shawl to try and extend the length of each color stripe. In the last few rows of seed stitch I was getting a color change in each row-each row was about 1.5 colors.
The yarn is knipicks chroma, So this project saves me from making mosaic socks out of some of my stash. I think I used around 300g, but I still have about three skeins left of this that will turn into socks eventually. I found I didn’t mind the occasional thick or thin spots as much for the shawl, nor was the yarn splitting quite as much as normal.
Between this shawl and the knee high socks, my sock output has really slowed! I just bought more yarn at a yarn tasting for Once upon a corgi, so I better get knitting!
