Perfect!

A few months ago, I created our newest colourways called 'speckle dyed'. I was very interested to see how these colours would knit up, so I took two skeins of the colourway 'Neon and Grey' off the shop and, at the very same time, spotted a new shawl design called Dotted Rays by Stephen West - perfect!  I immediately cast on and over the course of the next few months, knitted happily away on this project.  There's lots of short rows, comforting garter stitch and an easy to remember pattern - the perfect equation for chilled-out couch knitting.  I have said this before but the speckled yarn is a delight to knit with: each stitch knits up into a new colour, which creates a knitted fabric that is lightly sprinkled with bright pops of colour; it's fun to watch which colour will appear next.  As you can tell I had a lot of fun knitting this shawl, so much so that I'm almost sad to say that I have now finished.  Almost sad, but very happy to have a wonderful new shawl to wear.
