Well I guess it's the time for knitting updates! I did a lot of knitting this past year, and this was the last project for me off the needles in 2020. Of course I didn't get around to blocking it until last week, so here we are.
The pattern is the Summit Shawl by Mandie Harrington, and she has kindly made the pattern available for free on Ravelry. I was drawn to the modern geometric shapes and to the really cool dropped stitch patterns. It's worked in short rows and was a really good knit for zoom meetings. The only challenge with a short row pattern is that a couple of times I couldn't remember which way the overall row was going and started off in the wrong direction!
The yarn is a silk linen blend (thanks Georgia!) and I still have some left so it'll probably re-appear in something else in the future. It was good to work with and has a nice sort of rough-hewn vibe I like.
Neat design! It's an unusual pattern.
