REFRESHING!
I spun the yarn first without a specific project in mind. It is two ply - one strand from wool mixed with splashes of dyed roving and the other of tencel blended with naturally dyed marigold, indigo, over-dyed green, cochineal, exhaust pot cochineal and goldenrod. Once I had the yarn, I looked at it's luster and shinny quality. Then I started knitting. I liked the image of a triangle shawl draped nicely around one's shoulders or doubled up around one's neck. The first triangle didn't satisfy the wrapping quality I was looking for, so I ripped it out and started again. This time, I added a 4 stitch increase every other row, which eventually inverted the triangle. Then I added short rows to get more wing-span breadth. I think I'm going to keep this piece.
