I have another lighting quick finish. I think garter stitch one/two skein projects are just my jam right now. Here is the Jay Jay shawl in all her glory!
Pattern: Jay Jay by Francesca Caricato
Yarn: Cascade Yarns Sunseeker in Silver
Needle: US 6
Mods: To maximize yarn in the last section I omitted two garter ridges and added one extra eyelet row. This made it so that I had just a few yards of yarn left.
This pattern was intuitive and addictive. It made great car knitting too! The yarn I wasn’t so in love with. It’s a DK weight yarn made of cotton, acrylic and metallic thread. It’s very pretty but not very soft or warm. I bought this back in 2013 in a yarn shop because it was pretty and I didn’t know any better at that level of my knitting. This yarn was knit and frogged out of two other shawls before it became Jay Jay. In the end I’m happy with it and very happy it’s out of my stash.
I think this will be a gift for my mother in law. She will appreciate the beauty and in her “season of life” like the fact that it’s not overly warm. Well and with cotton and acrylic I know she won’t felt or shrink it, lol.
Happy Knitting!!

Beautiful shawl!!
You’re so speedy! I’m getting so bored of what I’m knitting right now. I need to do a speedy project next but I WILL NOT start anything new until this blinking cardi is finished!
My mojo is definitely in high gear
very nice! And so fast! I like how you will be disposing of it – to someone with an internal furnace who won’t need to fuss about it’s care. Good job! And it is out of your stash, as you say. Makes room for something you really do love. 🙂
Beautiful shawl and great yarn usage.
Wow that was fast! Don’t you love getting that yarn out of your stash! What’s next?
I started another shawl…..but I’m not in love. I need to ponder
I much prefer it when there is immediate excitement about what I’m making. Hope the pondering is successful:)
Beautiful! She will love it.
Let discuss speed knitting, HA. this looks amazing
