I finished the Everyday Shawl. It feels like I was working on it everyday for years. I started it on November 28, 2018. I wasn’t working on it the whole time, but I was dreading working on it most of the time. In the end, I’m very happy with it. It is much lighter in color now that it has been blocked.
As much as I like the finished project I would not recommend this pattern. It is too boring to knit.
It’s beautiful! But I hear you on the boring:)

Thank you. I ended up giving it to my sister at lunch today. I don’t think I would use it because I would be reminded of kntting it.

You should make it. If you are in the mood for boring this fits the bill. It would have been a lot better had I not been alternating skeins.

It really is pretty! Do you think it would be better if done with a gradient? I’ve got at least two gradient sets that I need patterns for!

It would be perfect for a gradient. It would still be hella boring though.
