Yes, I did cast on a new shawl yesterday, a new shawl in gorgeous bright rainbow yarn, and it was absolutely the right decision. I’m in love with it and don’t want to knit anything else right now. I think it’s just the right combination of color and pattern for me.
The pattern is Peek-a-Boo Bay Shawl, one of the fantastic Free Pattern Friday gifts from Little Church Knits. Yep, same person who did the Marcelle Wrap! I’m using Manos Del Uruguay Alegria for the main color, and I managed to cast on with the right size needle this time. The size 6s are giving it a delightful loose gauge, perfect for this warm-weather shawl. I will need another color for some stripes near the end, but I wanted to knit it for a while to see the colors before I decide. Right now I’m leaning toward the bright yellow-green, though the blue is a close second. This will probably be my weekend project, and the calendar’s pretty empty, so don’t be completely shocked if I have a finished shawl by Monday!

Ohmygoodness, Lady!! What a perfect yarn! Thank you so much for knitting my patterns and for making them all look so awesome! 🙂 I know it’s a bit of a “challenge”.
The only challenge is me!! The patterns themselves are great. 🙂
Wow its lovely. Can’t wait to see the finished product! 😊
Me too! 🙂
A finished shawl by Monday…I am in awe, it takes me weeks to make a shawl! That yarn is gorgeous, its going to be a beauty 🙂
Ok not gonna happen! Job interview Monday means shopping today & hair appointment Sunday, so no awe needed. 🙂
Oh that’s so exciting! Good luck for tomorrow 🙂
Thank you!! 🙂
That shawl is stunning. Love the yarn. I can’t wait to see it finished
Thanks!
