Spring Shawl Surprise

On February 5, 2008, in afghan, KAL, stole, by Anna

I’m back to knitting the Spring Shawl Surprise again. I have more yarn on its way from Lorraine at Cottage Craft Angora, so I will indeed have enough to complete the shawl. Good thing too. It would have been terrible to rip it out, since it looks so nice and feels so soft. The fourth clue has been completed and I’ve started the fifth one.

To get enough yarn for this stole has been a tale and a half. I had one skein that I got from my SP11. Then I decided I needed more and tracked some down at the Purple Purl in Toronto. They kindly shipped me what they had, but it wasn’t enough for the entire stole. I then contacted Cottage Craft Angora directly and asked them for more. I sent a sample of the yarn I had to see if they could match it. I was lucky enough that they could match it, and I can’t wait to receive the package with the rest of my yarn. This stole is going to be absolutely wonderful.

I’m also making a lot of progress on the Lizard Ridge Afghan. Actually, I finished all the knitting. I now have to stitch all the panels together (I only have half a panel left to attach) and then it’s time for the crochet-edging. I’m hoping to finish this project soon. I’ve been putting it off for far too long.
