I started a new shawl yesterday and so far, easy knitting. It is almost mindless knitting. The yarn I am using is one of my hand painted merino/silk sock yarns. It is called Sugary Confection. It reminds me of chocolate and a gooey centered truffle. Yummy!
The pattern is Multnomah by Kate Flagg and it is from Ravelry. If you are on there, check it out, it is a nice pattern to work on. It takes sock yarn so, if you haven't graduated to using lace weight yarn, sock yarn is easier to work with.
I am on repeat 21 of the 35 repeats. So far it isn't too big, I am hoping it will get bigger. The bottom portion of the shawl is feather and fan, it looks to be the old shale pattern. I love working feather and fan since it is truly unique.
I am using size US4 needles for this project although the pattern does suggest US 3's. I think the US 3's would have been too small for this yarn.
