Introducing Leaves and Flowers…….
What a joy this little shawl was to knit!! A funny thing happened along the way. I purchaed the Koigu for this shawl knowing how much my youngest daughter, Hannah loves bright pink. I figured it would be a challenge for me knitting with a color that is typically not one of my favorites……..but as the knitting progressed, much to my surprise in addition to the bright pinks were some of my favorites……poppy red, paprika, bright orange and apricot……I loved each and every stitch of this little shawl
Now, I was supposed to be knitting items for the fair next week, but this shawl would not be ignored, so I will have a lot of fiber at the fair for sale……..but not too much in the knitted items dept…. Oh well, sometimes we just have to listen to the wind if it makes us smile 😉
So pretty! It looks so beautiful in that cheery pink Koigu. Lucky Hannah!

LOvely shawl, I hadn’t seen that pattern before, the colors are perfect for this time of year. You and Hannah (if she shares) can keep it warm.

Oh how pretty! I’m with you about pink, but you really can see the subtle shade variations on that shawl and it is gorgeous!
Alas, you’ll just have more fiber? And this is somehow a BAD thing? Your fiber is to die for! I’ve been savoring mine because I will be so sad when there is no more to spin!
Kim, as always you bring a smile to my day!
