Mystery Shawl Update

Time for an update on my Mystery Shawl. I just finished the rows for Week 6 and this is how it looks. I absolutely love this shawl. I think it will actually be more of a wrap than a shawl but I'm no expert on this. This is my first one after all. I love these colors and the yarn. (Sonata by Elann) I think it's going to have a beautiful drape once it's finished. I'm thinking this is going to be one my favorite knits so far. If only I had known the feather and fan was this easy.

This is a close-up of the stitches. It also shows the colors pretty well. I love the earth tones and this yarn is becoming a favorite as well. I'm considering ordering some more in a different color combo to make another one. I could have one for every day of the week. :)

My Elann Order....YAY!!!


Look what came in the mail today! My yarn order from Elann.com. This is Sonata...a 100% mercerized cotton. The color is Vineyard. I have ordered from them several times and I'm always pleased with my order. And they ship so fast! If you haven't checked them out, I highly recommend you give them a look. They have many different yarns and the the prices are great! Sometimes it's hard to choose which one. I'm going to use this to do another mystery shawl. There has been discussion in the group about needle size. My first one is on size 5 needles but after reading the posts, I'm thinking of changing to a larger size needle. This is to give the shawl more drape. There isn't much to frog at this point so I figure this is the best time to it. Don't want to wait til I get too far into the pattern before I change my mind. I don't mind frogging early in a project. Now if my Knitpicks Options would come...I would really be a happy camper!
