[Summer Knits] Beachcomber oversized shawl

Knit with TruBoo so light and airy for summer. (Bamboo is squirrelly and the ends are not as neatly woven in as when they started)

Gorgeous, and I love the colours. I know what you mean about weaving in bamboo, annoying.
Lovely work! I know "beach" is just the title and not the actually legally mandated purpose but I have to say these colours are just yelling "beach day!" at me 😆

It looks amazing! The colours, the size, the lace - everything!

What is particular about weaving in bamboo ends? (I'm new to projects big enough to have ends to weave in, so always appreciative of the experience of other knitters)
- I'm guessing it's just because bamboo is kinda slippery so they can work their way back out over time. I had that issue with some mercerised cotton once.
- Thank you!
  
  The bamboo yarn is so slick that the ends work their way free. I wove all the ends in and snipped them close to the work like I do for everything else (when I actually do 🫠). Most ends are sticking out by about half an inch after a few weeks of wear.
  
  Ah OK, I understand now. Thank you for explaining :)
