I got a little distracted by a five year olds birthday and visiting relatives, so I have been a naughty little blogger!
But I am back now, and with a finished project!
Meet Haruni
Isn't she pretty?
But unfortunately, my not so little man didn't fit into it. Probably a good thing seeing as it is not a superwash wool and not such a good choice of yarn for a small's jumper! So she was frogged into this mess:
and then I learned how to spit splice,
and then of course knitted up into this little beauty:
Pattern: Haruni by Emily Ross
Yarn: Araucania Ranco Solid in green (well duh!)
Needles: 3.5mm Knitpicks Options Interchangeable Circular
I did one less repeat of the first chart as I was worried that I would run out of yarn. So that coupled with the fact that my gauge was off has made this into a much smaller shawl. Perfect for wearing as a scarf and just what I was aiming for.
The pattern has two different bind off options - a crochet bind off or an i-cord bind off. I opted for the crochet bind off because I really wanted to get it finished and thought it would be the quicker option. Little did I know that I struggled to get the crochet hook through every single k3tog and the entire bind off took nearly two hours!
I love this knit, and it is to date my favourite project.

Oh it's lovely. So pretty. I can't believe I've never tried it because it's breathtaking. Be very proud. It's beautiful.
I wonder what an icord bind off would look like?
Wow! It's beautiful. I'm not really a shawl wearer but maybe if I had a beauty like that one I would :-)
