#ardent

This was a simple knit, and is the sister to the Antarktis shawl I made recently. It was great for knitting on the streetcar, since there are no stitches more complicated than a k2tog yo combination. I made this shawl for A’s mom, who wanted one similar to my shawl, and who was really nice and gave me her Garmin equivalent of a fitbit, when she got a new fitbit.

10/10 would make again! When I bought Antarktis and this pattern, it was a buy 2 get one free special, so I still have one more lovely shawl pattern to make. I think I have a yarn in mind, but it will be a little while before I get to making it, since I have a few other things I want to make first. At some point though!

Ardent by Janina Kallio, my project here on Ravelry. I used yarn I got at Romni, which was Estelle Yarns Alpace Merino Fine. The yarn is a very different texture than the Malabrigo I used to make my shawl, as it is much fuzzier rather than smooth. I still think it is good for shawls, but will be warmer potentially than the last one.

“Why not?” said the dwarf. “You do.”
