It's been a while since I've posted about a finished object, let alone had a finished object to share! A quick look at my Ravelry projects shows about a billion projects in process and only three completed ones in the past two or three months.

Yarn: Knit Picks Stroll Handpainted in Hayride

Rating: 5 of 5 possible stars
This shawlette is a great example of the magic that can happen when you pair the right yarn wiht the right pattern. Frankly, this pattern would be great for any variegated yarn, but I think it did this great colorway so much justice. I loved watching how the colors changed through the feather and fan pattern as I knitted it up. The yarn and the pattern accentuated each other, really. The pattern was fun, interesting, easy and fast -- and now I'm completely addicted to shawls. I've recently added three shawls and a stole to my Ravelry queue, and I can't wait to dive in!
...except I should really focus on some winter and Christmas knitting first.
It looks great! I love it :)

Oh! I have been wanting to make one of those forever! I have one on needles right now, but the needles are killing my fingers (a cheap pair I bought a zillion years ago), so I put it aside. I think I better get me a new pair of needles and get to work. I so need one too!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I am so dreaming of casting on the Multnomah, if it weren't for yule makes. And you know I have the yarn ready and everything...the exact same yarn as yours!! Right, too much of a coincidence, I think I'm going to cast on later.
ReplyDeleteLoving yours so much.
