I have finished my week’s worth of stitching on Giggles in the Snow and I love how it is working so far! What a cutie! It will be hard to put it away today and pull out the next project in the rotation …. but I can look forward to seeing it again in February. I think I am going to have to do these Snow Angels again for myself!
I cast on for a rectangular shawl this past week – using Melody from Jojoland on 2 3/4 mm needles. I have not used this yarn before but am very pleased with both the texture as it knits and the color – which of course is nearly impossible to capture on film. The sunlight brings out the purples but there is a lot of green in here too ….. see
hmmm…. maybe you can’t see it no matter what I do. Ah well. I am using the Woodland Shawl pattern that you can find here:

and I plan to add a knit on lacey border too!
