@nobyeni @knitting That's a pretty one! Did you decide to lengthen your #PsychedelicaKAL?

Finished! The #PsychedelicaKAL shawl, everything except weaving in a few ends and a light blocking. Yay! #FallFinishAlong got me there - thank you @ConsumableJoy and @LaVisch and the Mastodon knitting community for your support and help! This one goes on the ever☆growing blocking pile. 🧶

Knitterati ~ Not sure about this...

Trying 3 stripes of mustard in coral at start of final solid section. There will be 2x more depth in solid coral to follow + scalloped garter edge.

It feels too dense or yellow something? Maybe will read better when larger coral-only segment is done? Add some white to visually connect it better to upper two sections? Frog?

Don't know. Would love feedback!

Maybe a lace with a less traditional lace look? Like the one @Lavisch used on her just-launched #PsychedelicaKAL shawl pattern (which I'm making).

This reads more like a texture. And people seem to like to riff on it. Check out these interpretations. It's been a super-fun de-stressing knit!

Psychedelica pattern by Susanne Visch

Sometimes, you just want a knit that quickly gives results. This design uses aran weight yarn, which definitely delivers on that! The patterning may look challenging, but if you’ve ever knit lace, you can absolutely work this too.

Okey dokey, Knitterati ~ Another tweak to Susanne's fun design, #PsychedelicaKAL...

Kept to her striped approach through crazy section but changed color from coral to mustard. Then, back to coral for final solid portion, throwing in some mustard stripes.

Enjoying how these colors look side by side, w/out white. Also liking weight of denser fabric at base of shawl - feels quite stabilizing to a slinky knit. Fun!

101 grams now 79 grams of coral after 6 rows equals 3.6 grams per row, 7.2 per back-forth stripe so if I do 4 stripes of coral between 5 stripes of mustard 7.2 times 8 or 4 rows equals 28.8 grams leaving 50.2 grams which would net out 6.9 2-row stripes including garter border. Maybe. IDK!

Gosh, rusty at math! Every time I get to end of knitter math I have a brain seize-up, for reals. Lordy.

@FlorenceMarieJay Does #torschlusspanikkal mean #PsychedelicaKAL when translated? I didn't think so because your beginning knit looks more like a point that expands, but IDK...
