I started this pretty thing Christmas Day….12:00 AM on the dot.
Remember the loot of free yarn I scored on a month ago? This huge skein of silk thread was one of them. It also came with a pattern: Pie Wedge Shawl.
If you Ravelry you’ll see it.
I didn’t get it at first but soon enough I figured it out.
It’s all garter stitch with a pretty edge. The silky fluffy yarn is heaven.
Plus the vibrant colors just are so pretty.
This is one shawl that will be fun to block and I should sell this puppy so I can like, you know EAT….but I think I am just going to keep it.
It’s been one of those mindless knits that takes a lot of time and can be boring but you find very handy when you need boring and mindless so you can like, you know….THINK STRAIGHT.
Boring, mindless and FREE therapy that you can wear and impress all your friends at the next social gathering you find yourself at…. like you know, the Palace Ball or more likely and sadly in my case….
WORK.
whatever.
It’s my life eh?
Some knits are just something to pick at but this one is turning out spectacular!

That is very pretty. And it looks kind of Christmassy…so very appropriate that you started on Christmas day.
I have a bunch of yarn I’d like to do something with…I’m only in the basic scarf stage of knitting though.
