Yvonne MT

Diana stopped by this afternoon with Yvonne MT. We used Le Petit Lambswool - 3 balls of Soft Gold and 2 balls of Dark Blue Black. Diana had very little left of the Dark Blue Black so if you are worried about running out I would suggest 3 and 3. The shawl is beautiful!

Yvonne MT is a sideways constructed triangle. You will start with a few stitches, and work increases to shape the shawl. The three color version is worked using a technique I call ‘Intarsia light’. This technique is easy to work, and carefully explained in the pattern.

You can also choose to work the shawl in two colors, without introducing a third color for the inner triangle of the shawl. Please refer to the pictures for an example of the three- and the two-colored version.

You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

I took these pictures just before leaving and then forgot to bring the shawl home for better pictures. Next week.

I laid the shawl out so that you could see the shape. There are shadows on the shawl which is causing the dark spot in the point.

I am working on my 20th square. Last night I laid them all out on the island to get a feel for the colours and what colours the last 5 squares need to be. Beth suggested that I knit 10 more squares and then we have lots of squares to play around with. She then wants to pick the 25 squares we like the best. That leaves 5 extra squares. Another blanket? It’s a good thing that Noro brings out new colours of Kureyon every year. I can put the extra squares away and work on the blanket later this year. Or in a few years - I have been collecting these squares for at least 5 years. LOL!!! I just went through the blog and the first square of this afghan was started on January 19th, 2010.
