When we returned from vacation last Saturday I popped in to my LYS, Amazing Threads, to pick up some yarn for the Summertide Shawl MKAL.
Clue One was a no-brainer, but I love the texture.
Clue Two took some serious focus. I'm not proficient at M1R & M1L, so this section took me the bulk of three or four evenings to complete.
The shawl is crescent shaped so I'm not too concerned about the edge being too tight. I really like the separation of the edge from the shawl. Girly.
I have some time to continue these afterthrought heel socks until Clue Three comes out.
This yarn is TurtlePurl Sock in the City Girl Colorway. Very fancy striping pattern. Love it.
That's all for now! Quick & dirty before I'm off to work this morning. Linking up with Nicole's KCCO and Ginny's Yarn Along today. Can't wait to see what you all have on the needles!
Later!
