FUBC #1 is worked from the top edge with a little over a third of the final stitch count cast-on. As the knitting progresses a series of spines are created using yarn overs creating the central body of the shawl. Once this section has been completed the fun really begins with a short row section worked to create the sweep of the shawl. Finally a transition to a ribbed section brings the shawl to completion. The shawl is knitted in garter stitch throughout which means no additional action is needed when working the short row sections, the work is simply turned and continues in the opposite direction.
FUBC #1 was originally knitted in two colours of Ghyll, however these hand-dyed shades have long since sold out, so Susan has reknitted the shawl using her Bluem Sock yarn, using the beautiful hand-dyed shade of Herb Garden alongside Buttermilk; the warm natural cream shade of the undyed sock yarn. This yarn is a slightly lighter weight than the yarn originally used and as a result creates an extremely pleasing, more open fabric.
