I've reached the point where the WIP is so big - approaching the legendary "shlanket" size designer Stephen West is known for - that it's hard to spread out to show the whole thing, until it's off needles. Every picture I post looks like the last one, but I have to call out my 6 rows achieved today. Loooong rows.
This weekend, wrap up 5-color band, knit deep chevron border. Then block! Then wear!

Dear Mastoknitterati ~
The end is nigh! I'm just 21-1/2 rows away from finishing final five-color band on shawl. Long rows, but still.
After this, it's 16 looong rows of chevron, then bind off in contrast color.
This knit - #AuroraCabinShawl from Stephen West - has been a blast. I got to do hard design thinking, got to use amazing new yarns from #JadeSapphire 2-ply - cashmere and silk-cashmere yarns, and got to make a thing of beauty, just for me. Yay! 🧶

Greetings Mastoknitters! Now more than 1/2 through this challenging, engaging knit. Design (Stephen West #WestKnits, Amsterdam) is built around his inventive use of drop stitches, creating those long spans of yarn. There is only ever one yarn held at a time across a row - kind of amazing when you look at the result. This here yarn is cashmere and silk, with a soft draped hand. The nicest thing I've made to date!
