Knitting the Stash! 
Great episode, Melissa. It’s so interesting to see just how different the two Aileas’ (Aileai?) knit up – drapey and relaxed vs. more structured. It’s very instructive to be able to see that difference; I’ve only recently begun to think about things like drape. Colour is also next on the list of fun things to explore. 🙂 Also, what a wonderful shawl. Thanks for sharing these lovely FOs!

Thanks so much, Shirley! You were quite the cheerleader for this second Aileas, as I recall 🙂 So thank you for that! The drape is so interesting, especially given that the Isle Yarn is not all that structurally different from the Shetland! Maybe it comes down to needle size sometimes and fabric density 🙂
