I hope everyone has picked their yarn and freed up their needles because it's time to cast on for the Colorblock Shawl KAL! I don't know about you, but I had a really tough time picking yarn. I finally decided on two different colors of Cascade Heritage. I went for two blues this time - Anis and Cerulean.
As I mentioned in my last post, I went to the Pittsburgh Knit and Crochet Festival this past weekend. While I was there, I did pick up a this beautiful skein of Misty Alpaca Handpainted Sock yarn in the color Manu. It's a blend of alpaca (shocker!), merino, silk and nylon, and there are 437 yards in the skein. Want to know the best part? It's going to one of you as a prize for the KAL! Just use the Rafflecopter widget below to enter.
I promise the rogue "fur" on there isn't dog fur, it's the alpaca.

I picked out my yarn yesterday (hoping I have enough) -- a light gray for the main section and a jewel toned variegated yarn for the tip. Can't wait to get home and cast on! :) I can't wait to see how yours comes together, I love those blues!
ReplyDeleteI think you landed on a gorgeous color combination! It's going to be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the blues! Great choice.
ReplyDeleteI am bad at technology and didn't see how to answer the question for the entry.
ReplyDeleteI picked Blue Sky Alpacas regular sport weight in Medium Grey (508) and Hyacinth (538). Im really looking forward to this, especially considering what a disaster my current blanket project has been!
Hey there! I'm leaving you a manual comment since I'm not sure my entry went into the widget above as per your advice on Rav. Thanks for hosting the contest! :-)
