If the tones are varied alternating would be a good idea but make for a thicker side seam. I used all but a couple yards of the 3 skeins. Happy knitting, it's a great project and so wearable.

How close did you get to using every bit with your project?<br />Also, I was told that since this brand has no dye lot, I should alternate skeins every couple of rows. <br />It doesn't look like that was a issue for you? Your end result is lovely!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425872358717952445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312056037853803779.post-45295911750059718052018-03-03T15:44:04.850-05:002018-03-03T15:44:04.850-05:00Deborah Hunt - I hit gauge on 5.5" needles wi...Deborah Hunt - I hit gauge on 5.5" needles with my choice of yarn. I'm a fairly tight knitter. If you are finding you have fewer stitches per inch try a smaller sized needle, if you are getting more stitches per inch on your swatch then try a larger sized needle. Depending on the yarn you use you may want to wash and dry your test swatch and then measure your gauge. Make sure your swatch is wider - maybe 4" wide and tall, and measure the inner stitches for the 1" gauge. I hope that helps :-) Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13816016965260849057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312056037853803779.post-31358806371636784052018-03-03T14:58:58.836-05:002018-03-03T14:58:58.836-05:00Help!

Sometimes it pays to be late, however, in that I've had the advantage of reading all the "version issues".<br />I was very surprised to see that this is a DK weight as the photo makes it look like a heavier yarn, more like a "worsted" or even a bulky. And I see you were using a size 9 needle; do you remember what gauge you got? I don't have Madelinetosh in my stash, but this would make me get some :) The plumpness is what I like about it as it gives it such a cosy look. Very nice.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17054134323864095352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312056037853803779.post-71104126589005700672014-11-15T07:20:19.992-05:002014-11-15T07:20:19.992-05:00Hi Renee!

I have the pattern and some lovely madelinetosh dk ready to go but there is such trepidation in the comments and disagreement over the pattern particularly in relation to keeping the spine on center and attaching the edging. I know you made yours ages ago but was wondering if you had any pattern notes to share. Thank you for considering and keep up the beautiful work! I spent hours looking through your lovely creations!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681554541876791418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312056037853803779.post-85825349709318351532014-09-26T08:19:31.979-04:002014-09-26T08:19:31.979-04:00Mara pattern is no longer available on the Madelin...Mara pattern is no longer available on the Madelinetosh site, but can be downloaded for free from Ravelry here:<br /> http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mara-3<br />Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13816016965260849057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312056037853803779.post-10987547469734172932014-09-26T08:13:34.966-04:002014-09-26T08:13:34.966-04:00Beautiful shawl!
