Having finished several older knitting projects, I decided to allow myself a new start. I’ve had the yarn wound into a ball for the Butterfly/Papillon shawl for a couple of years now, in anticipation of starting it back when I wound it. Then other things came up, and I never got around to it.
This design uses a lot of short-row shaping, which makes the look unusual from most designs I’ve knitted. I “borrowed” the idea for the colorway from someone else’s that I saw online. Because it is all garter-stitch, it’s also nice and “squishy” and feels so good in the hands.
One of the nice things about this particular yarn is that it has really long “striping” sequences. And because you’re doing short rows, the majority of a “clump” of color ends up in one of those short row sections. When I bought the color-changing yarn, it was under the brand Feza Uneek (color 3003), but I think that has since changed to Urth Uneek. The green tonal is an older skein of Voolenvine Yarns in the Blitzed base, colorway Grass is Greener.
