So, I posted a bit ago about how I'm in a bit of a rut, knitting-wise. And what's the solution to a knitting rut?

Sekku. Thick-thin. Spun from special, mean, rough sheep |
Crochet, obvs, lol etc.

I would have left the brown out of this colourway if it had been me |
Partner loves shawls (!) and is fascinated by this and its 'nice subtle colours', but then Partner is so colourblind he thinks dogs are green, so I don't necessarily engage. What
I think is this: sod the colours, because, Noro Sekku is even worse being crocheted than it is being knitted. Worse! Let me emphasise that for you! I had to untangle myself every few stitches with this because the Sekku kept winding back on itself and knotting. It was awful. I mean, it was first-world-problem awful rather than
actually awful, but it was still irritating.

No, I don't know why I decided just to stick it on top of the noro scarf. Look how cool and casual I am! Look how much noro of various weights I can process without stabbing people! |
This is the pattern on Ravelry. I have the capacity for following crochet patterns of a disgruntled and slightly thick sealion with attention span issues, and I can promise you that even if you are the same, you will be able to follow this one. I say that to you because you may be thinking, why pay for a pattern which is just half a granny square with a scalloped border, and I can understand that point of view. However, this pattern is clearly written, I am happy with it, and look, I managed to produce something and will probably use the pattern again. I'm crocheting something else now. You see, I'm on a roll. Possibly. I won't actually get excited until I've finished it.

I've heard that again about Sekku, which is a pity because the results are beautiful, enjoy the shawl now you have triumphed.
A pretty shawl :) But would be prettier in not Noro ...lol
