Your Penguono is fab and I love the colours. You have done well to make I do quickly. I love that you have made it with short sleeves and cropped so that you can get the use from it throughout the summer. It's gorgeous. I'm catching up with my podcasts as we have both been ill with Covid. I think it hit us harder with us having underlying conditions but all I can say is thank goodness for immunisations Xx

[@myyarnycorner]

Oh no hope your feeling better now 💕 covid is horrible! I absolutely loved making it I really did - it was alot of fun! Something so different 😊xx

Aw thankyou and thankyou so much for knitting it with me i have loved every second 🥰 xx

[@mariloknitting]

I totally understand your obsession, looks like a very fun project. I'm thinking a scifi-version with yarn from @MousesMakes 👽🤖👾

[@myyarnycorner]

Oooh that sounds fabulous!! What a great idea! 🥰xx

[@debbiestuckey6599]

I love your Penguono, Alex!! It's gorgeous!! That was really cool to see your progress on it day by day! 😍 So what are you working on now?! I'm knitting a cabled cardigan for myself right now. I have a pair of socks on the needles too. See you next time!

[@myyarnycorner]

Aw thankyou Debbie 😊 I absolutely loved making it 😊 I have picked up Danny's socks now and trying to finish my slipstravaganza and work on my rock pool sweater. Oooh bet the cabled cardigan is gorgeous!! You know I love a cable! Xx

[@maiseymay1969]

Wow your Penquono is gorgeous. I think I may be tempted 😬 confused on yarn and size though x

[@myyarnycorner]

It's a fabulous pattern it really is! You won't be disappointed if you try it. I'm a 40/42" bust - I went for size 5mm needles amd my gauge was giving me between size medium and large which turned out perfectly! I held fingering weight yarn double for a DK weight yarn. It's knit with alot of positive ease you if you haven't got exact guage I don't think it matters too much. Next time I would like a more oversized version for winter so I will probably go up to an aran weight and a bigger needle and check my gauge with that 😊 hope that helps! Xx

[@maiseymay1969]

@@myyarnycorner thank you so much I will have another look and see if I can brave it. Xx look forward to seeing your next one x

[@sheilamccart7553]

Great watching the progress, what size did you make?

[@myyarnycorner]

I believe it was the size large. I really enjoyed making it - I'm thinking about another right now! Xx

[@MAIP3]

Alex I just can't work out how to find the size. I knit a swatch in chunky it turned out right, but how do I relate that to my size.

[@myyarnycorner]

In the pattern it tells ypu based on the swatch what size you will get - look at the sts per 4 inch amd the corresponding chest circumference xx

[@MAIP3]

Many thanks@@myyarnycorner

[@FrancienDanielsWebb]

Oh it isn’t a shawl it’s a vest that interests me now.

[@myyarnycorner]

Have a look on the project pages on ravelry there are some amazing colour combos - I spent ages looking at them all 🥰 xx
