Read Between the Lines - Week ???

I'm still going with my knitted Read Between the Lines shawl. The make-a-long started on Jan 31st and Scheepjes have now started another crochet-a-long to mark he upcoming wedding.

I won't be joining in with the new project, I'm just about halfway through the original one...

I think the colour change is getting more visible although this does seem to be one of the more subtle combinations.

Definitely more obvious when heaped in its storage box!

Still a significant amount of the whirls left, and some good colour changes to come.

Week Three

Progress is happening but slowly due to reduced knitting time this week. The pattern is easy and enjoyable and it's fun waiting for the colour to change (which is happening strand by strand).

I'm sure I had something planned to do next on my list of knitting projects but as I've already said I fell for the persuasive powers of Facebook and decided to knit a Read Between the Lines shawl using the previously posted and totally gorgeous Scheepjes Whirls - 2000m of yarn in all.

First thing first I actually followed the instructions and did two test swatches to decide on the correct needles. Unfortunately this meant I couldn't use my beautiful metallic green circulars, but luckily the correct size is a set of rainbow wooden knitpicks.

This is about 30 rows in. I chose to go with the inside of the purple and the outside of the strawberry.

And this is after about 150 rows, taken from two angles to show the illusion effect. At least another 200 rows to go!
