The dramatically variegated colors immediately jumped out at me. I snatched it up without a thought to what it would become. Now, almost one year later, a pattern has finally come along that I think might be well-suited to this odd skein. In fact, it was designed by the talented Kristen Finlay of Skein to show off the beautiful colors of strongly variegated yarns just like this one. See?
The little guy's spring break starts tomorrow, so this easy one-skein project will be perfect for (weather permitting) outings to the park and playground. We had a snow day on Monday so here's hoping that Mother Nature doesn't pull another trick on us.

What a gorgeous skein of yarn! That slip stitch shawl would be perfect for some variegated yarn I have in my stash too. Just like you, I've been wondering what to do with it! Good luck with yours!

ReplyDeleteAm not (usually) a shawl knitter, but this pattern in that slipped stitch coupled with that lovely yarn ... very tantalizing. I will look forward to seeing yours as it evolves.
