much bigger than I anticipated.

The specs- Flower Basket Shawl (Fiber Trends), Zen Garden sock yarn (1 skein plus part of a second). I used size 8 needles and did 10 chart repeats instead of the recommended 7.

I’m really liking the red in the edging. I think it frames it well. I like this shawl much more than I expected to. I thought the pattern would get lost in the color variegation, but it doesn’t. It’s cheerful and feminine and the yarn is really, really nice. I think she’ll like it, even if she’s swimming in it.

She’ll grow.

Last night, while Hayden was here, I resumed knitting on that other shawl I’d started. I have no idea what I was calling it. But, with all of these lovely shawls being turned out, and none of them belonging to me, I’m getting antsy.
