Macaw

Chain plied with 144 + 164 + 170 + 138 = 616 yards.

Love the final yarn, but I'm unsure what to do with it due to the yellow/orange....

 

8 ounces of 100% Corridale, 

Louet North America Northern Lights Fibre, 

Pastels colorway.

Orenburg Wrap

 

I had the privilege to test knit for Natalia Shepeleva

 and her Orenburg Style Wrap pattern : )

Her pattern is clearly charted and is very intuitive.

 Size 3 needles, two skeins of Cascade Yarns Alpaca Lace in the Ecru colorway.

Emily, Take Two

 

  The second time I've spun this colorway; this time for me.

Greenwood Fiberworks in the Emily colorway, 4 ounces of 100% Polwarth wool.

The braid did come in two irregular pieces and I did a bit of color management

 to get the colors to mostly match up.

Deadly Nightshade

Lovely chain ply spin with 100% Superwash Merino 

from Into The Whirled in the Death colorway.

4 ounces, 647 yards.

Discovered with this skein that my niddy noddy was too large and so I had to go back and recalculate my yardage for all of my previous handspun. I finally figured out exactly how off it was from 2 yards and wrote an equation into my graphing calculator which saved my quite a bit of time.

Raspberry Pebble Beach

Present to my Grandma in celebration of teaching me how to knit 

over 15 years ago : D

Pebble Beach Shawl by Helen Stewart, size small.

Size 6 needles, KnitPicks Alpaca Cloud in the Raspberry Heather colorway.

Pebble Beach Shawlette

Finished my Pebble Beach Shawl by Helen Stewart (size small) and love how versatile it is : )

Size 6 needles, Swans Island Pure Blends Fingering in the Seasmoke colorway.

Yarn twisted horribly for me (how I tension my yarn added twist ugh).

Black Hole

 Might be the last time I try this pattern in a solid; 

took forever!

Viajante pattern by Martina Behm.

Size 6 needles, 3 skeins of Misti Alpaca Lace in the charcoal colorway.

Sothia

Sothia Pattern by Robin Ulrich, very intuitive;

 but I ended up changing the edging so you only needed 2 skeins total instead of 3.

 

Knit edging is modified from Stephanie Pearl McPhee's Snowdrop Shawl; 

mods are in my project notes on Ravelry.

Definitely will knit again  : )

Size 6 needles, MadelineTosh Merino Light in the colorways Cousteau and Lolita.

Blue Bird

 

My Whiffle Bird pattern : )

Size 8 needles, a skein of KnitPicks Bare Stroll (dyed by me) 

and leftovers of KnitPicks Stroll Tonal in the Thunderhead colorway.

Because I typically have a very tight gauge,

 this needle size was perfect for a large soft shawl without increasing my yardage.

Vermillion Secret of Change

 Secret of Change Pattern by Veera Välimäki.

 Size 6 needles, 2 skeins of Madelinetosh Merino Light in the vermillion colorway.

Lovely endless rows of garter stitch : )

Shown not blocked for maximum size...

My Snowdrop Shawl

My beautiful Snowdrop Shawl knit to pattern : )

Knit on Size 6 needles, one skein of KnitPicks Bare Shadow.

The free pattern by Stephanie Pearl McPhee.
