I realized Monday afternoon that I wasn't actively knitting anything, and my knitting group meets Monday night. This past weekend I worked a lot on my steam punk cross stitch, and didn't have time to really think about what I would be knitting for the week. I had so much fun with the Sweet Summer Rays shawl, I knew I wanted to make another shawl. I remembered I had purchased several Stephen West patterns last year during a 50% off sale he was having. I thought the mix of this skein of MadTosh Sock in Spectrum that I bought at Stitches West.
Here's the start of the shawl. I have to say, this yarn is GORGEOUS! This picture doesn't even do it justice. I can't wait to see this shawl grown and how the colors will pool.
That's it for me today. I hope you have a great rest of the week. On Friday I'll have my Sweet Summer Rays shawl to share!

ReplyDeleteSuch pretty yarn! I have always wanted to knit a Herbivore but haven't gotten around to it yet. Looking forward to watching your progress!
ReplyDeleteI love that yarn and I've heard of it but never tried it. I may now plus I've never had a desire to wear a shawl or make one but I was thinking maybe it would be nicer in the Winter than going to bed with a robe on? LOL! I sit up in bed and do handwork and read and I get chilled cuz I've turned the heat down for the night. A shawl would be great plus I need a reason to make one!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors coming out of that yarn!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful yarn and nice match for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI'm in on WIP Wednesday's because I hope it will keep me honest:) or honestly working:) or something like that.
