I started making this back in January and then I must have put it to one side after completing the flowers for some reason before picking it up again last week and joining them all together with the main colour.
I have used Twilley's Goldfingering in shades WG4/004 light gold, WG31/031 black and a couple of different dye lots of WG38/038 red.
I didn't make any notes nor did I seem to take any work-in-progress photos other than a couple where I am preparing to add the fringing. My eldest daughter said that I had made the sofa look like a Christmas candy cane. I did run out of space and so I used the back of a couple of cushions on the floor. The reason I laid them out like this was because whilst I was able to use one dye lot for the shawl I had to use a couple of different dye lots of red when I got to the fringing part and so I cut the lengths and divided them across the number of tassels and then the other dye lots were cut and added in equal amounts to each tassel. This means that all of the tassels are made from mixed dye lots but it won't be obvious because they all contain mixed dye lots.
I think the final shawl looks a bit like a ladybird.
