Finished 1st Shawl

The First Shawl is currently blocking.  (which was an experience in itself!)



Here is a close up photo:



Color is hard to get to come out right using the camera phone inside but it is a light light lime green.

The pattern is Boneyard Shawl and I really enjoyed the knitting.  It was fairly mindless and felt like time off for good behavior after the lace I've been knitting.

Yarn was Wispy by Reynolds and I'd use this again in a heart beat.  It is soft and smooshy and just lovely.  The only problem I had was when I was binding off it was splitting quite a bit.  I used Jenny's Stretchy Bind Off and kept having to pull to get it tighter and that's when the yarn was splitting.  I didn't have too much of a problem with that during the project.  Splitty yarn makes me cranky and I'd knit with this again so that should tell you something.  I blame the bind off and not the yarn.

First shawl - Check!   Moving on to First Skirt...Yikes!  I'd just like to add that no one I know who knits has ever knitted a skirt.  I feel like I'm going into unchartered territory with this one.
