Recently I have become addicted to knitting mini-shawls. This is a bit odd for me, because I don’t really wear shawls. But I love knitting them, working the simply design in favor of displaying the yarn. And this shawl is particularly exciting for me, because it is my first project that I’ve knit with yarn that I’ve spun.

Yarn : My hand-spun!!! (Santa Monica)
She’s very pretty and I’m pleased with how well she blocked. While these are not colors that I normally work with, part of the allure to spinning (and then knitting with said yarn) is to expand my color palette. I tend to stick with the same colors most of the time, but getting out of my comfort zone is an adventure that I am enjoying.

She is very lovely. The colors are calm and gentle but make the whole thing look so cozy. Wonderful job!
