Last night I finally finished my new shawlette.  I steam blocked it this morning and plan to wear it today to work.  I finished with my adjustments for my yarn with about 8 inches remaining.  Final measurements revealed that while I was in stiches per inch guage, I was not in guage for the number of rows it was supposed to be - I had less rows than it called for. I will be sure to add photos soon! Have a wonderful day!

I have been working ever so slowly now on a sweet shawlette by Never Not Knitting .  I really love the yarn I am using and couldn't be happier with the results.  The yarn is created by a local central coast company named Valkyrie in the colorway Anastasia in Haven.  It is a beautiful purply-red combination of hand dyed yarn.  My favorite part of the yarn is that because I am using two strands, each one has it's own character, coloring and changes independent of each other within the hank.  The result is a wonderful slight variation of the same hue throughout the shawlette.  The photo doesn't nearly show the complexity - you have to see it in person.
