I purchased 4 spools of 3mm ribbon yesterday in colours that are in the prayer shawl I'm working on - or colours as close as I can get to ones that are in the shawl - the self striping yarn that's being used graduates through a lot of colourways and shadings from pale cream to a medium dark brown to an an odd olive green to an odd dark grey (I can't decide if it's a warm grey or a cool one) and all inbetween, so I'm not too worried. The plan is to thread it through the shawl as accent lines and use it also as part of the fringe.
You see, the knitting pattern I've used leaves behind regularly spaced holes along the length of the shawl.
The pattern is an elongated (3 stitch) Moss(UK)/ Seed(US) stitch.
I'm hoping the ribbon will look nice. I'll do a test next week. There's half the shawl to complete, so I've plenty of time to decide if it will work.
Bye for now.
