I managed to squeeze in a couple of photos between stops.
This shawl is a cozy, versatile wrap. It's perfect to wear out. Or stay in and snuggle up with a good book.
The yarn is Dirty Water DyeWorks Marie, colorway Pea Pod. Marie has a bit of cashmere which makes for a smooth, soft knit. I can't seem to get enough of this yarn and will have to plan another project with it.
Here's a peek at my latest sock.
I was planning to make a simple ribbed sock, but then I stumbled across Jeck. Jeck uses a modified rib - a little something to keep it interesting.

This week I was outside looking for colorful signs of spring. All I found were the remnants of winter. I know that the crocuses have popped, but I have yet to see one. My color inspiration for this week is tightly wrapped and hidden.
Buds waiting to burst.
Thanks for the link to Jeck! I had not seen it before and it's exactly what I'm looking for today. I purchased a lovely, more complicated pattern from the new Twist Collective this morning, but it just doesn't feel like the right day to start it. With the ever-changing weather, I think I need simple and rhythmic. So, thanks again!
ReplyDeletePS - the shawl is beautiful! That green just sings spring!
ReplyDeleteGreat shawl. Love the way the rib edge joins the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI have crocuses next to my driveway, so feel free to pull in and take a look as soon as this four inches of "on the rain side of the rain/snow line" melts!
