My new review yarn came this week and I’m finally excited about casting on a new project! This is called Boca Chica from A Good Yarn, a yarn store in Sarasota, and I’ve got a super bright pink and a gray/pink variegated. Plus they included a couple of goodies!
Originally I’d planned to knit Delphia, a crescent shaped shawl with a big lace section. But then I remembered Straight and Arrow, which has some really fun striping and chevrons.
Delphia, on the left, is a lot of garter stitch and uses less yarn, so it would be a faster project and I’d have enough yarn left for a second, smaller project. But Straight and Arrow would put every yard to good use, and it’s a slip-stitch pattern so it wouldn’t be that much slower to knit. Help me pick!

That’s a really hard choice! Both are stunning shawls.
They are! I know I’ll make both eventually!
I vote Straight and Arrow. I think it would be very fun to knit.
I think so too! I’m just wondering if I want to do it in yarns that contrast each other more.
Straight and Arrow! It looks so different to most knitted shawls and the chevrons are fab.
How on earth do you get so many lovely goodies to play with??
I do love chevrons!! I work with a marketing company, so when yarn companies need reviews of their products, the marketing company sends out an email and I sign up if it looks like something I’d like. I love it!!!
Awesome!!
Lovely yarn and color choice! I’ll go with Straight Arrow too!
It really is a gorgeous pattern!
