So, I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with my new lace-weight yarn. I have the Folk Shawls book, and I just purchased this butterfly shawl pattern. Although there are a couple patterns I really like in Folk Shawls, I don’t think I have enough yarn to do many of them – except maybe the Highland Triangle Shawl. I love the butterly shawl, but I think the yarn is too thin, it would be a very open stockinette/garter pattern. Which might be ok. The swatch shows the yarn by itself (bottom), and with a very thin mohair (top)…neither is quite to gauge, and I really prefer the orange yarn alone. Oh, decisions, decisions.
In the meantime, I’ve been working on mystery knitting. I’m getting close to finishing up a Christmas gift or two! Yay!
