Silent Auction Description This shawl is science. Well, mostly science. The kind of science you get when a curious knitter learns about continuous cables and wonders if they could be used to replicate the LoadingReadyRun logo. A revised hypothesis of "that border won't work, let's drop those stitches". Some quick, back of the envelope calculations, and an educated guess or three, and suddenly there's a shawl where there used to be string.

Broadly inspired by patterns for "shippo" (or "tail") scarves, this asymmetric shawl/scarf has the LoadingReadyRun logo worked into a cabled border. The wedge-shaped end of the shawl can be draped over one shoulder for extra warmth, or it can be worn as a regular scarf. That's right, it's a warm, versatile, LoadingReadyRun-themed neck accessory. Try one today...for science!

The shawl is made from 440 m (480 yds) of Avery Allison Yarn, 100% merino wool, color "Sea Glass." It also uses 175 m (191 yds) of Shibui Knits Sock, 100% merino wool, color "Pebble." Hand wash only.

It measures 135 cm (53") along its top edge, 35 cm (14") at its widest edge and 10 cm (4") at narrowest edge. (All measurements approximate.)

Craft-Along? Yep!
Silent Auction Winning Amount $808.08
