As promised, here is the second color section of my Arya Shawl. I have found this to be my “reward” knitting of late. It is busy season for this accountant at work so I come home pretty much wiped out. And so in the quiet of the evening I have been reaching for this project to work on. I may only have time for a few rows before I fall asleep but with DK weight yarn it shows the progress quickly. The shawl looks less thong like now.
I’m super late the party with the grellow color combination. But I’m really loving the grey and yellow contrast. But with this Chubbs and Squeak yarn also being a tweed yarn there is a consistent element flowing throughout. I’m still not 100% proficient on my CCD or centered double decreases and I have to fudge them sometimes to keep my stitch counts correct. But hey, this is garter stitch so it’s very forgiving!
My favorite of favorite parts so far? The mosaic slipped stitch color work portion that transitions between the two colors. it just makes my heart happy!
Happy knitting!!
Beautiful color choice! My husband has his own CPA practice. He puts in 10-12hr days at times but he has a very strict policy of not allowing any work on Sunday. I like that. My mother-in-law always said God blesses the wife/husband of an accountant during tax season!
Take care of yourself. Regina
I love it! The color combo is excellent!
Gorgeous!
That is looking great! The slip stitch part really does look great – nifty way to transition between colors!
that color change is different
