I wore my Fading Point last week and it brought back great memories of making the shawl. I loved the construction and playing with 5 different colours. Joji writes a great pattern and it is very easy to follow. I would definitely make this shawl again.
The pattern is by Joji Locatelli and you can purchase it on Ravelry.From Joji
Last year I designed a pattern called Starting Point, and it was a Mystery KAL. I loved that pattern so much, and it was truly nerve-wracking to present it as a mystery. Would people like a big rectangle wrap as much as I did?
Fortunately, I think many did! Which encouraged me to keep exploring that construction, and it also gave me the confidence to design more maxi-scarves or wraps. And when La Bien Aimée created these colors for me to design with, all I could picture was this wrap. I just knew it. The moment I saw it, I knew what it had to become!
Fading Point is constructed from both ends towards the centre, and then both pieces are connected with triangles to achieve a seamless rectangle.
The pattern is completely different than its predecesor: It has sections where you blend 2 colors together and then sections with lace. The instructions are WRITTEN AND CHARTED.
I put together kits and they are available in the store and online. The colours of my shawl are no longer available but this combination is close. My shawl was knit in Hedgehog Sock.
Now it’s time for some chores around the house and a bit of knitting.Before hitting Publish I went back through blog posts. This is Alex’s Fading Point. I will try and find colours like this tomorrow.
