The pattern, "Protest is Patriotic Shawl", is free at Ravelry.com. I'm invited to a party for the 4th, and wanting to show my patriotism, I may have had a delusional moment in thinking that I can wear this shawlette to the event. Ha! It may be for 2018 but I will give it a shot. I'm going to a party and would love to wear it. No stress but then I thrive on deadlines.
I looked everywhere, including the web, for the yarn. I was on a quest for summer weight yarn and had difficulty finding the right shade of red or blue with the same fiber content at various shops or on the web.
I went to my "not so local yarn shop" in Montpelier, Vermont called "Yarn". I always find what I am looking for and the friendliness and customer service is superb.
I love the fiber combination.
Wish me luck!
Happy Knitting!
That yarn looks wonderful! Cotton, Bamboo & Silk, I bet that feels amazing, too. Good luck with your deadline & getting it done it time. I can't wait to see it. Have fun winding all that yarn, so that you can CO.
ReplyDeleteAll wound up! I hate winding yarn.
DeleteOh that yarn is pretty. So cute how they've labeled the fiber contents as elements. I may fit in a very simple shawlette this year.
ReplyDeleteKnitting shawlettes are some of my favorite knitting.
