The Koigu modular UFO has been completely ripped. Most of it is skeined and some it has been washed and dried. There are two sets of Koigu - unused partial and complete skeins, and used partials with knots from the ripped modular work. I don’t have a good idea yet of how much of each I have but I think I started with 8 colors of Koigu that each had the same purple in them. I may have had 2 skeins of some colors. I’ll weigh everything once is it all washed and dried.?
I am thinking of Leftie (
<>) with the used yarn, leaving the knots visible. There is one colorway that is quite a bit different though it has the same purple in it. I think that might serve for the leaves. i can always add more of the unused yarn if needed.?
For the unused yarn, I am considering Now In A Minute (<>). Again, I’ll have to weigh the yarn to see if I have enough.
This way the Leftie will be the memory of my mother - knots and all - because the original shawl had a lot of work done on it when she was ill and I was accompanying her to doctors’ appointments, sitting in the hospital, etc. The rest will just be a nice shawl to give as a gift or use. I’ll keep the Leftie.?
Any other ideas? I didn’t like most of the other designs I saw in Koigu because they look too busy. There is one shawl called Burrow that looks rather nice but it also has a strand of KSH held with it and I don’t think I have enough of any KSH to go with these. I might have a blue in the Elann equivalent and I might see how that looks with the Koigu.
