I found a new-to-me cast-on. So, of course, I made a tutorial about it 😃

Re #CastingOn some new #knitting; setup of the Cardinal #WingspanShawl.

I am restarting on the slightly modified wonderful Wingspan pattern by Kyle Vey: I did a cable cast on instead of a long tail (because preference) and added 4"/32sts to the linen stitch section in the middle between the "wings" to accommodate my wider shoulders. Otherwise these three setup rows are set with adorable daisy markers made by a friend before I start the 12 feather (6 on each side) section A.

The yarn is Blue Brick Dye Works Manitoulin Sparkle yarn (a beautiful mix of Cashmere, Merino, and silver stellina) and I have started with the very dark (almost black) purple gradiant yarn in colorway "Fig"... I will then splice in the tonal "Cardinal" yarn for the majority of the shawl putting the brownish/maroon bit of gradiant yarn at the end, hopefully incurring the effect of "Very Red Bird Wings from a Very Red Bird" in the final scarf/shawl hybrid.

#CastingOn some new #knitting with a gauge swatch on what will be the Cardinal #WingspanShawl.

The 4"x4" section of linen stitch has been knitted on size 4 needles showing that I still apparently like to death-grip the poor Blue Brick Dye Works Manitoulin Sparkle yarn (a beautiful mix of Cashmere, Merino, and silver stellina) for the Wingspan Pattern by Kyle Vey.

My plan is to start with the very dark (almost black) purple gradiant yarn in colorway "Fig"... Then splice in the tonal "Cardinal" yarn for the majority of the shawl putting the brownish/maroon bit of gradiant yarn at the end. I am also planning to add 4 inches of to the linen stitch stabilizing bit in between the "Wings" in the hopes that a size B shawl will sit better on my broad shoulders.
