I have run out of yarn to finish this shawl
(Delicate Shells Shawl by Yarnspirations).
It is also longer than it needs to be so I am going to rip it out....I know, I think I make most things twice but only have half as many completed items! Groan.
80" long without blocking. Since I am 66" tall, I would at most round up the shawl to 70" long so this is 10"-12" too long.
I do like the pattern enough to give it another go.
The yarn isn't a thrill to work with but the drape and weight of the shawl is promising! Today, I have a dentist appointment so I will bring it along to rip out. Here goes!
Oh no! I can't say I blame you. I rip out knitting when I'm unhappy with my results. You'll be much happier with a smaller version of the scarf. I have a hard time thinking that anyone would want a 70" scarf. (Sounds like me and very long table runners too.) Enjoy your crafty week.
ReplyDeleteOh, my....I hate when that happens but sometimes a good ripping can be quite satisfying. Good luck with it.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that! But now you'll be in a great position of knowing the pattern well. I hope the dentist visit goes very well for you.
