Summer Flies

I knit a shawl every year for my birthday this year I started early when I found this wonderful pattern and I just wanted to share it with you:)
There was a knitalong on ravelry and I read every post and took notes which are on my project page here.
It is the most well written detailed pattern and a quick knit.
A great first shawl pattern for anyone.
I knit it with 10 ply worsted plucky mcn on US # 10 needles it can be knit in 2-4 days and you need roughly 400 yards for this project.
If your not on ravelry write me and I will send you my notes happy knitting.Hugs Darcy

Forest Canopy Shoulder Shawl Is Done;)

Today is my hubby's Birthday he helped me block my shawl before he left to buy a game and a starbucks and to just have a whole day for himself:)You can click on the pictures to see the shawl up close.I was able to get 12 repeats of the body of the shawl with the 440 yrds/200g of Alpaca/merino that Lizet dyed for me for Christmas with only 1 ounce left over.The shawl is 68 inches across the wingspan and 28 inches down the center back.My first lace shawl Iam stoked cant wait for it to finish blocking so I can wear it.Iam going to wear it to Stitches West the end of this month.I will show it off at the Knotty knitter Gathering Tomorrow Woo Hoo a FO!!!
