That is what I used. Now, you are correct, it is available in several weights. The DK weight would be nice for this pattern as well. The lace weight would need to be on much finer needles, and more stitches per block used.<br />Thanks for the question, so that I could update the yarn details!<br />Cheers, Chris chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530046359068388972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362487751109655084.post-91364896674035933632015-11-03T14:01:27.813-05:002015-11-03T14:01:27.813-05:00Noro Silk Garden comes in a variety of weights. Be...Noro Silk Garden comes in a variety of weights. Because this is a shawl, it probably doesn't matter too much, but it would be helpful to post the weight of the yarn you used. The picture suggests that it was a light weight yarn--sock or DK--but you used 4.5mm needles, which suggests worsted weight. For those of us who might like to make this shawl in a different yarn, please let us know what weight yarn you would suggest. Thank you!modgmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03244866603559791920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362487751109655084.post-81500175727408512442015-02-14T06:35:27.542-05:002015-02-14T06:35:27.542-05:00I have been knitting my own version of mitred garm...I have been knitting my own version of mitred garments for over 20years. I shape my blocks differently as this makes a less obvious diagonal line. I make my blocks larger or smaller to create contours to follow the body shape and eliminates the need for any sewing as the knitting is continuous. It is such a fun way to achieve so many colour and texture effects as well as being very flattering to wear.Daphne Randlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362487751109655084.post-16449846338810437432013-02-24T15:32:17.325-05:002013-02-24T15:32:17.325-05:00This is a wonderful repurposing save!
