Alright, if you've been lurking around this blog for any length of time, you know that it's a new month, and that means a new Knit-Along!  This month, the Colours of Spring Shawl is the Knit-Along pattern - and if you don't have the pattern, don't worry, it's 50% off until the end of May!  This fingering-weight shawl uses two sets of 25g mini-skeins, (or, one set of 50 g skeins), so, it's perfect to use up a beautiful gradient kit that's been taunting you - or, it can be a stash-busting project to use up all the leftover half-skeins of sock yarn!

 The idea of a striped shawl using gradient sets had been something I’d been considering for a bit. It was some experimentation with gradient swatches that led to the creation of this shawl!

 The sample was knit using two of a fingering-weight 100% Superwash Merino gradient set from OceanWind Knits.  If you’re substituting yarns, I’d suggest a fingering or sport weight with a mostly wool content. The placement of the garter stripes can be adjusted to account for differing yardages between mini-skein sets.

 This pattern has both charted and written instructions, as well as an accessible large print option that is compatible with screen-reading software. This option includes only the written instruction.

 You can buy the pattern through Etsy,  in my Web Shop, in my Patreon Shop, or, on Ravelry.  The discount is available on all platforms for the month of May! And if you're a Patron, you can download the pattern for free from the Patreon Shop as well! 

 Now, onto the Knit-Along Details!

For the month of May, every finished shawl has a chance to win a $25 USD Gift Card from Knit Picks, or, new this month, a $30 CAD Gift Card from The Knitting Loft!  This choice is due to the Canada/US tariff situation; when I contact the winner, I'll ask them which shop they would prefer.

 If you're outside Canada or the US, sadly, I can't do gift certificates, but, you can, instead win 4 patterns of your choice from my Web Shop!
