Oregon Sky Shawl / #glowupknittedwit Kit
Jun. 10th, 2019 02:03 pmKnitted Wit did this neat collab with a pile of awesome designers It started with yarn…

Yarn: Glow Up Knitted Wit kit (with main colour Oregon Sky)


There’s a lot of great patterns in the collection, but I particularly loved this one.
Pattern: Oregon Sky by Michele Bernstein (Pdxknitterati)

I took it to Albuquerque for the mini Maker Faire. (see how it matches the rainy Oregon departure!)


I found the perfect project bag:

I took it to Cleveland for Pycon and it was literally bound off in the sky on the way home:


This is a great pattern for travel: visually stunning and a great conversation starter, yet with short and easily memorized lace sections so I could pick it up and knit while watching the toddler, attending conference talks, or pretty much whenever. I think I told more people the name of this pattern than anything I’ve ever knit!

I had some fun taking finished photos…

I’m not sure why, but my toddler particularly likes this one, so while i was taking photos he gestured that i needed to throw it on a tree then grabbed it and ran away giggling …


And before I’d even processed those photos, I was lucky enough to catch a rainbow and get photos with it!


How amazing is that?
Great shawl, great yarn, and my only regret is that it might be a while before I try the other patterns in the collection!
