When we vended at Cakepalooza this year, Shala, of Black Purl Magic, was rocking the most gorgeous crochet shawl that turned out to be Le Triangle Granny Shawl pattern by La Bien Aimee.

I had some traveling to do for my husband's work between Rhinebeck and our fall knitalong kick off and so I rewarded myself by casting on the pattern using my Chelsea Yarns Advent calendar from a few seasons past. I'm not usually as fast of a crocheter as I am a knitter but this project FLEW off my hook. I knew I had to try it in our yarns.

When I posted my progress of playing around with stash on instagram, a few people reached out saying that they were curious about the mods I made and wanted to try a Knit Collage version of their own. It's a paid pattern (available here on Ravelry!) so I don't want to give too much away, but this blogpost details all the yarns I used and rough amounts I used for each stripe so that you have a road map to create one for yourself!

I opted for a rainbow gradient—of course!—but I think this is a really fun one to explore your stash and play around with different color combos. I'd love to see some of you amazing spinners mix in your handspun! Let me know if you make one and tag your finished makes on insta with the hashtag #KCLeTriangle because I'd love to see what you come up with!

Note: I weighed my yarn as I went but due to the handspun nature of these yarns and differences in gauge, your mileage may vary. If you run out of a color before the end of a row, I recommend needle felting your next color change to your working yarn. This technique will work for any wool based yarn but not for fabric yarns like Wildflower or Waterfall.
