Reader’s Shawl
Jun 6th, 2010 by jennifer
I bought this as a kit from Adirondack Yarns in Lake Placid, NY. I want to be very clear about this: I think the world of the people at Adirondack Yarns. They are always nice to me whether I see them in their store or at a show. They have great kits, projects that can be knitted by and worn by real people, and they have yarn I adore. Like Fleece Artist BFL, which I’ve bought from AY and used twice before.
This is the first time I’ve used the BFL in brown and was in love with the color until…
Abbey doesn’t mind the odd color changes because the yarn is so soft.
After I took the photos outside, I realized that the third skein of yarn was a very different color than the other two. This can happen when you use hand-dyed yarn but still, it makes me very sad.
I had been hoping to enter this in the Bridgewater Fair because, why not? Now, I’ll only be thinking about that if I bother to over-dye the shawl. Ah well.
The pattern, by Bergere de France, and the yarn are lovely all the same and as soon as it starts getting chilly again, I have plans to snuggle up by the fire with my shawl and a good book.
