I’ve been so excited about this shawl for months now, ever since I bought the green and black skein of Countess Ablaze’s yarn. I love the last few books of the Odyssey, which cover Odysseus’s return home and I was so glad I could get some of this colourway.
The pattern is Asunder and I chose it because I thought it showed off the variegated yarn well with the dropped garter stitch, and the stripes remind me of a shield. I also chose it because there are enough rows of grey that the variegated yarn is not next to my neck when I wear it, because it’s a sock yarn and isn’t quite soft enough for me to wear next to skin. The grey in the shawl is Cascade Heritage Silk, which is a nice grey colour, and lets the green yarn stand out.
