Botanique

Here is my finished Botanique


Casapinka designed a new knit along early 2021 called Botanique.  Because I had so much fun with the Sharon Show, I decided to buy the yarn and knit along.  But somehow there wasn't as much hoopla this time and no one in our group was knitting it, I lost interest.  But I have cast on this past week and am ready to start.  I bought Emma's yarn in the super silky the Floridian Zest color way.   It is 80% super wash Merino and 20% Silk.  There are 400 grams in each skein.  I am knitting on size 5 needles.



The kit suggests using the colors in this order:  Cally Girl, Floridian Zest, Hot Tamale, Tangerine Mist.
Hmmm....the colors are not in that order in photo below.  The order below is Floridian Zest, Tangerine Mist, Hot Tamale, and Cally Girl.




I found a photo that showed a way to wear the shawl when it is finished that I like a lot:


I am using size 5 needles which is what the pattern calls for.  Here are the labels:









I put few scraps of the yarn in a tote in my bedroom closet that says summer yarn
