This yarn was to be a pair of socks. Then I got a brilliant idea: make a shawl out of it. Too bright for any serious lace motifs but not so crazy that all stockinette was called for. The Textured Shawl – whose pattern I’d be eying for weeks – was the perfect fit. The pattern drove me a little nuts in its simplicity but I greatly enjoy the result. This will be given to Matt’s cousin, Sherrie, who is an elementary school teacher and mother to two adorable girls. I hope she likes bright colors!
