All That Glitters
I bought a Paintbox Kit from Biscotte et Cie because I loved the sparkly, colorful range of gradient yarns in the Twinkle Winkle collection, even though I wasn’t sure at the time what I was going to do with it.
The yarn and the colors looked like they would be a good candidate for a rather simple garter stitch crescent shawl, with a more elaborate knit-on antique lace edging.
In all I used 600 yards/550 meters of fingering weight yarn .
I used 4 colors of a 5-color (5-skein) Biscotte & Cie Gradient Paintbox “Twinkle Winkle” Hand Dyed Sparkling Yarn kit: full skeins of colors A, B, and C and 1/3 skein of color D.
Note that each of these skeins contains 182 yards/166 meters.
The body is an easy knit - and no short rows are involved!
The lace edging is going to require a bit of lace knitting skill, at the intermediate level, in my opinion.
Measurements after blocking: 165 cm across x 42 cm wide at widest point (65 x 16.5in)
