The #cliathrachShawl is now off the needles. It was a fairly easy project, and my first lace project at that.

Now the boring part is left, weave in ends and block it. Sadly as I suspected when I calculated how far the yarn would take me it is not really the size of a wrap for me, but it would work as a smaller shoulder shawl at least.

Making good progress now.

Broke into my second skein of yarn today (they are 25gram skeins only). I'm knitting with a discontinued yarn (Marks & Kattens Karusell, fingering weight with 100 % merino wool), I have a total of 6 skeins.

Probably not enough to get the shawl to the largest size which would be ideal, but hopefully somewhere close to the medium at least which should still be a useful size.

If it ends too small, I'll take it as a learning curve and find someone who wants the shawl, the yarn has cost me zero so that's ok. I think I have some other yarn in a proper weight that may be enough to make another one.

Cliathrach pattern by Liz Corke

Meaning trellis in Scottish Gaelic, Cliathrach is an asymmetrical shawl knit from side to side. With masses of relaxing garter stitch and an engaging but easy to learn lace pattern covering one third of the shawl, Cliathrach is a joy to knit! The simple lace pattern forms the trellis which gives the shawl its name.
