Moon Dust shawl by Janina Kallio







pattern: Moon Dust by Janina Kallio

    • 100% merino superwash

    • color: Rosa 2270_
  • Malabrigo Sock
    • 100% merino superwash

    • color: Eggplant 811

consumption: 
Zauberball 304 meters - 76g, Malabrigo 370 meters - 92 g


gauge: 
I did not measure my gauge, as I feel this unnecessary. After all, a shawl is not meant to be well fitted to the figure. However, out of curiosity, I did measure the shawl after blocking and the size was: width 196 cm, height 81cm. This is a little less than the pattern, although I did one extra stripe. So my gauge is quite tight. 

knittability: 
It was a nice and easy knit. Lace pattern is simple and quickly learned and can be knitted while watching TV or podcasts. I did 36 stripes altogether - which was 1 stripe more than in the pattern description. 

wearability: 
It fits well around the neck - the shape is classic triangular. However, this shawl is going as a present for my aunt - so I will not be able to actually wear it in everyday life. I hope my aunt will like it!
