I originally bought this Wool Ease Thick and Quick yarn to do the KAL with firefly on her blog i live on a farm... (see this post) It's a blend of lamb's wool and acrylic, so I thought it would feel wonderful as a lap afghan. It does feel wonderful and is very warm, but as I finished more and more of it, I realized that I did not like this yarn in this pattern... I pulled it out and changed it to this pattern... It's a numbingly simple pattern, but the garter stitch will hold the heat and make this a wonderfully warm early winter shawl.Now I will have to get more yarn to do the KAL....hmmmm
Oh Linda! That shawl is beautiful and it looks so warm. Love the fringe too!
ReplyDeleteThe shawl is beautiful ... and man, you must be a serious fast knitter!

Thanks for the kind words, Mariella and firefly. On the day I can knit like either of you, I will consider myself a knitter... smiles...
