I picked up this yarn on a whim at the local A.C. Moore. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, but I wanted to give it a try.
I found the
Peacock Petals Shawl and thought it was a good match. This is a free pattern that packs a punch. The first few rows are nothing fancy. They are lacy, though. Using this fine cotton yarn is going to make this a light and breezy shawl.
I made it through the fist section without too much trouble. I think I'm better at reading charts than I am at reading written out directions. That may be more about me than it is about the pattern designer. The good news is that both written directions and a downloadable chart are included.
Once I hit the second color change it was time for some interesting stitching. This isn't going to be a quick project, but I'm sure it will be stunning when done. This is one of those projects that blocking will really make the difference. I'm loving the changes in color and the developing motifs.
