Nothing says welcome to Maryland Sheep & Wool like casting on a new shawl. This time I pulled together 50 grams of fingering from Marigoldjen (I bought it last year and didn't use it up) and a couple cakes of yarn I dyed (in 2016) using food coloring.
I'm working up another Dotted Rays Shawl by Stephen West. Why do I keep picking this pattern? because I like how different yarns can really make an impact with a simple pattern. If you want to try your hand at this, or any of Stephen's other designs, West Knits is having a sale in their Ravelry store. Check out the West Knits Facebook for more information and to get the coupon code to save 25%.
I started this on Saturday, May 5th, and I'm making great progress. Though, as I go along those rows will get longer and longer. I have no idea how this is going to turn out, but I'm really pleased with it so far.
I think I am a little over halfway through the first cake of yarn. The stripes of colors will get narrower as I go along but that just adds to the fun.
This green is so much fun!
