Today is the last day of Year 2020. I am wrapping up the year with Wrap Me in Ice-cream shawl.
I love the blend of colours in this skein of Lion Brand Yarns. The yellow and orange are not only luxurious in its richness and vibrancy, they provide a good constrast against the darker tones of the green, blue, grey and brown. The colours remind me of my favourite childhood ice-cream too - the Walls Paddle Pop rainbow swirl ice-Cream. Perhaps that is where the creater of this Free Pattern gets the idea of naming this shawl from.
I bought 2 skeins of this yarn. What you see of my completed project here is actually that of 1 skein and then a bit more of the 2nd skein, to wrap up the darker tones of orangy brown so that the final row can blend well. Though I have weaved in the excess yarn and wrapped up my project as completed, I am still thinking if I should continue with more of the 2nd skein. While the size of the current shawl is fine, I feel that a bigger one may be even better. What do you think?
