I loved this skein of yarn – both the colours and the knitting pattern that came with it. The finished product – not so much.

I could hardly wait to get to the first colour change. Rather than a gradual move from one colour to the other the shades were just knotted together.

The pattern was interesting in the beginning but rather boring by the time it was finished.

I’m not sure I like the asymmetrical look of the shawl, but it was always intended as a donation so I don’t have to think about how to wrap and wear it.
