specifically to get the Noro Kureyon Sock to change colours once per pattern repeatlike this
you'd believe me ?Wouldn't you ?
don't quite know what it's going to be just yet - stole ? scarf ? shrug ? because I want to see how far one ball [ a fairly impressive 420 metres ] will go.
and I think that if I show you another triangular shawl this month *
... well
... let's just say that even I have limits to my obsessiveness**
If my admittedly rough calculations are correct I'll get 28 repeats of the lace from the ball and then it's all up to how aggressively I block the result.
Stay tuned
* and of course, after I posted this, I realised what the date is - it's a whole new month ! Happy May 1st
** but those colour changes would look SOOOOOOOOOOOO good in a triangular shawl

If you told me you added an eyelet to the pattern repeat to get the colour changes to work out nicely, I'd say you were very clever indeed!
it's beautiful!!
nice :)
looks to me like it wants to be a scarf, but maybe that's just cos I like scarves with horizontal stripes.
Is that a not-too-subtle hint Nadie my sweet?
Maybe it is time to sell some of these beauties.....?
Then you can make more with a clear conscience.
no doubt it would make a beautiful shawl, but just think of the calculating you'd have to do for regular repeats...
Of course it would still be gorgeous with irregular repeats :-)
That is so cool how you got that to work out so nicely! And I really wouldn't care if you made another shawl at all--I adore looking at them!
I always believe you. And I admire your determination to make the colors do your bidding! It looks great!
I would believe you! It's looking good.
I had to use the Wayback Machine to find this tip that I had seen ages ago. I hope it works! Check out the April tip for controling color placement. I think this is what you did by default!

Her tip really does work for a scarf or shawl that has a consistent # of stitches.
