I've been working on this project off and on for a couple of months, but alas, the fate of this special garment accessory is uncertain. The big looming question is "do I have enough yarn?" I was eager to try the pattern and selected a beautiful colored fine gauge yarn from my collection.
The suspect but disappointing verdict is appearing more certain with each knitted row. There isn't sufficient yarn for this lovely piece to grow long enough to wrap around a person's shoulders. Maybe it will have enough length for a ... scarf?? I like the pattern a lot so I'll be procuring sufficient yarn to knit the entire full length shawl.
Here's the pattern for the wedding shawl. It's a good idea to check yardage requirements before you begin. Ha Ha.

so sad about the yarn it is a beautiful pattern
ReplyDeleteYour shawl is beautiful. I hope you have enough yarn to make it work for you. Thanks for sharing the link to the pattern. I may try making it myself some day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful shawl! What a shame that there will not be enough yarn :( Thanks for the pattern - hopefully I will get good enough soon so that I can try it too!
ReplyDeleteCould you maybe find a lighter shade so that it would look like the one color just faded into the next? It sure is a pretty pattern!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I have had that experience where you get to that point where you realize there is not enough yarn to finish. At those times I found it comforting that I could "un-knit" with lightning speed! LOL
ReplyDeleteI love the pattern, and the color is one of my favorites. Isn't it awful when you aren't sure if you have enough or not?
