spring to summer shawl

Digging deep into the stash cupboard a few weeks ago I came up with five balls Tahki Chelsea Silk, a now discontinued 85% silk, 15% wool aran weight yarn. Having knit a couple of simple garter stitch triangle shawls with other odd amounts of yarn, I thought I'd try making another - this one with a contrasting border - and to try my hand at creating a subtle little waviness at the edge.

A couple of inches shy of the bind off, I increased across one row and this did cause the shawl to have a bit of a ruffle when it was bound off.

Alas, after washing and blocking the shawl all hints of the ruffle appear to have been completely flattened. I am undaunted, however, and as it seems I do not get tired of knitting garter stitch triangles, I will try again with a different formula of increases.

First, though, I think I'll make a Rock Island shawl and celebrate the approaching end of my classes!
