After interrupting my work on the wedding ghan for a DGS to begin a modular ghan for another DGS, then pausing to begin a Prayer Shawl for DD, I once again have leaped to another project which is a shawl for MIL for Christmas. Actually, there were a few completed toys for The Toy Society in that mix. The reason for the newest diversion is that I simply felt like crocheting!
The yarn is from the Estes Park Wool Festival last month. I purchased it specifically for MIL because I wanted to make her shawl using her favorite color. The softness of this yarn will warm her in the harsh Ohio winters! The yarn is from Brooks Farm http://brooksfarmyarn.com/ and is 50/50 fine wool and silk. The pattern is the Harlequin Shawl at http://www.caron.com/projects/ss_paints/ssp15_harlequin_shawl.html .
Akin to this is my order for blocking wires from Kaleidoscope Yarns at http://www.kyarns.com/ . Can't wait to see the two shawls I'm working on after they've been blocked with wires since I've always used pinned blocking.
What's your current project? I'd love to see it!
