another shawl

pattern: Damson shawl
yarn: Nightfall sock yarn in color violet



This was my first time using Nightfall and I have to say I'm pleased.  It was easy to woork with, not rough on my hands and blocks nicely. And the color is beautiful! I plan on purchasing more when I can afford it.  Nightfall also comes in sock sets so I'm looking for sock patterns and glove patterns that will showcase this gorgeous color.

azzu fever

I knitted another Azzu Shawl for my aunt.  And now my Dad wants one.  I told him it's a shawl and he said he didn't care what it was because he loves it.  I wear mine as a scarf.   I also thought of knitting him a moebius that he can wrap around his neck when its cold, kinda like a cowl.


Knit with Zino sock yarn
purchased at Yarnhouse in Charlotte NC
