Russell and I did a mad dash to Austin last weekend. While we were there, I was able to stop at a yarn store that was supposed to have spinning rovings. They did but what caught my fancy was yarn.
It is an olive solid and then a mulit color that has the same lama in it. The yarn store had the Collonade pattern from Fall 2009 knitty.com. Yes, this is a knit pattern but I changed it to crochet. I doubled the yarn so it is a bit larger then the original.
Russell made me a button! It is desert walnut that he milled himself.
I see this shawl keeping me warm while we sit together in winter and I am doing hand work. Or wearing under my apron while I am busy in the kitchen. It is heavy and it will keep between my shoulder blades warm which is where I seem to get cold.
I am so excited! Twelve inches of snow tomorrow and I get to stay home please! (But it is supposed to be 96)
