Oh, I absolutely loved this project, I don’t know if it was the pattern itself or the choosing of the colours but I was so enjoyable.
The different textures and stitch patterns of the different sections keep you interested and the desire to get to the next colour change is a massive incentive to keep going.
Also the fact that the yarn is held double throughout means the shawl works up to a large size very quickly. Its also a fantastic Stash Buster.
I only went for the medium size (omitting the final 2 sections) but after blocking it has really grown and it is more that big enough for my requirements.
And of Course, Tassels! Who doesnt love a good tassel?
