Pattern: Simple City by Eskimimi
Yarn: Zauberball in "Cranberries", from Stephcuddles
Mods:
Almost nothing. I moved the KFB increases on the ruffle edges in one stitch because I didn't like how they looked when done at the very edge. This is practically inconsequential, though.
Notes:
Appropriately, this was a simple project. The ruffle nearly drove me crazy and has made me wonder if attempting a Citron would send me over the edge entirely. Haha. Ten rows never took so long until I tried ruffles! Still, I love the result. The Zauberball is gorgeous, although it is a brighter red than I usually go for. Watching the stripes develop was super fun. I love how the bind-off row ended up being darker most of the way around.
The pattern isn't written with a garter tab cast-on, so if I make it again I'll probably add one. Doesn't really bother me, given how I'll wear it, but the top edge of the shawl has a bit of an indentation.
The finished shawl has a wingspan of about 1 m, and it wraps cozily around my neck bandit-style!

Very nice. The ruffles give a nice "not so bandit" added touch.
ReplyDeleteIt looks fab!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great on you! I love it wrapped bandit style. The ruffles are gorgeous, too. Well worth the work if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteI love it, well done! You've done a great job on the ruffles, round of applause for you! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the colours in the yarn, and the way it stripes. Looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat's a perfect pattern to show off that yarn :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely, looks like a shawl I would like to try.
ReplyDeleteLove it. Really tempted to get a Zauberball now.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The pattern and the yarn go together well, and the darker stripe keeps the bright red from taking over the world :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the stripes and the ruffle!!
