Hurry up spring

I wanted bright, happy pictures today. It’s time to start thinking about spring.

This is Gamut knit out of Noro Tsubame - one ball each of 20 and 26. I love these colours and will definitely be wearing this shawl. We have kits in other colours as well.

The pattern for Gamut is purchased on Ravelry. Diana followed the sport weight version. She knit the shawl on 4mm needles and ended at 200 stitches. There was yarn left over if you want a bigger shawl but I think that this is large enough and I like a big shawl. 

There is another option. Only use 1/2 ball of each colour for the shawl (making it a bit smaller than mine) and you can get two shawls out of the yarn.

In color reproduction, the “gamut” is a certain complete subset of colors which can be accurately represented in a given circumstance, such as within a given color space. 

The perfect vehicle for self-striping yarn, GAMUT shawl uses 2 different colorways and a simple textured pattern to produce a stunning celebration of color! 

GAMUT is an easy, rhythmic knit that can be knit in a range of yarn weights (shown in sport and worsted weight yarns. And the color changes will delight as you move from end-to-end.

I like this picture - Lynn has her ‘I’m a model and I’m bored’ look on her face 😘. For this version we used one ball each of colour 5 and 10. Colour 10 has been discontinued but we have a few balls hidden away for the shawl. 

Named for the barn swallow that migrates to Japan during cherry blossom season, this is a classic worsted-weight silk/wool blend. Each oversized skein contains 656 yards making it ideal for an endless variety of one-skein projects!

We are expecting new colours of Tsubame in March.

The pattern calls for Spincycle Dyed in the Wool or Dream State. These would make beautiful shawls as well.
