I've been wanting to knit Wingspan for a while, and eventually got round to it. Here is the result:
I used about 3/4 ball of Wisdom Yarns Poems Socks, 75% Superwash Wool and 25% Nylon, in (obviously) a pink/purple/grey colourway. It's a Turkish yarn that appeared in Spotlight at some point, quite cheaply, and I bought four balls of it in different colours. The colours are all gorgeous, with long, Noro-like colour changes, but the quality of the yarn itself is pretty ho-hum, being rough and splitty. I wouldn't want to wear actual socks made from it. But it made a pretty scarf/shawlette. I've given this one to my daughter because they are her colours, and I enjoyed knitting it so much that I have decided to make another one for me, out of another colourway of the same yarn. I might make mine a bit longer though, nine or ten 'wings' instead of eight.
