Autumn in New York, with time to spare before Winter!

I am totally thrilled to share this amazing array of Autumn (or AINY as Kim dubbed it on my list.) The following knitters used a variety of yarns (and some beads) for their shawls, and each one is unique. They were kind enough to share their details, along with these gorgeous photographs. I feel honored that all of you joined me on this project and so impressed with your work. Thank-you! And now, without further ado, and in no special order, I present AINY.

Just wanted to thank you for sharing your design with me. I used the same yarn & colorway S245 as you, but I followed the beaded chart - 6/0 Crystal AB glass beads. You were right to advised against hooking beads while using Noro! (Not fun.) I had 12 yards left and my shawl ended up being 58"x27" using US5 Addis Lace Needles.
I love the resulting shawl and will be wearing it today!

Yardage used: About 550 yds, but yarn was doubled, so 1100 yds
Modifications: I didn’t make any.
Comments: I didn’t notice the section repeat on Chart E, so it’s a bit smaller than it should be. I will be making it again, with repeats to make it larger, I loved making it. It was easy and just looks fabulous! :)

Yarn: Noro Silk Garden Sock #S84 with 4mm needle (US6)

Yardage: just under 600 meters (2 skeins)

Finished size: 57 inches by 30.5 inches (4 stitches to the inch) blocked

Comments: The cast-off was a new-to-me technique which I will definitely use again. It gives a lovely finished look to the edge and I got lucky with the colour repeat.

You can see more pictures of AINY on Raverly, so take a look!

Once again, I can't thank all of you enough! I am traveling next week, but I'll be back after that with some new tidbits to share. Until then, keep knitting!
