Game of Thrones Mkal

Hello everyone! I just recently got hooked on Game of Thrones!  I came in very late, however I have managed to catch up and I am obsessed!  I decided to join in on the Game of Thrones Mkal that has been going around on Ravelry.  This is a shawl knit a long and the shawl is inspired by Daenerys Targaryen, one of my favorite characters!  It is a beautiful lace pattern so far and I am having a great time knitting on it!  Each clue comes out every Sunday with the release of a new episode so you have plenty of time to work the whole clue before the next one.  
I am using Madelinetosh Pashmina in the colors Citrus and Hosta Blue.  I am loving the colors together!  These are the colors I in-vision when I see the mother of dragons!  The blue perfectly matches the blue dress she wears and the orange reminds me of fire! 



The colors in this picture more closely resemble the actual colors of the yarn.  I plan on striping the shawl and as for now I have a lifeline in just in case I do not like the stripes later on.  I do plan on getting a nice camera but for now this will have to do!

I am currently in the middle of clue 2 and the pattern asks you to work from two separate charts for each row.  I am enjoying the pattern a lot.  It is something that is a little bit out of my comfort zone but I am learning a lot!

So what do I love about this pattern so far?
  • Easy to follow instructions!
  • The pattern comes with both written out instructions as well as charts.
  • Each clue can be finished in a reasonable amount of time.  
  • It is so much fun! 

Who is your favorite Game of Thrones character?
