Finished Cool Weather Goodies

My Wish Shawl
designed by
La La's Knits



It was my very first time 808 yards was used in one project.
Wowzerrs ! ! ! ! 

I love the way it looks against my Salsa Red car.

Just so you can get an idea how big an 808-yard shawl can get

I like to keep my ears warm when that North Wind blows
So, I knit this

Hurricane Hat

I knit this Cowl

This pattern is in
Wendy D Johnson's newest book
and
from the same book

Both the Hurricane Hat and Elizabeth's cowl
were knit from
Malabrigo 
Worsted
kettle-dyed 100% Merino Wool

I notice that there's a big color difference in
these photos
and will not even attempt to correct it at this point.
I want to get this posted . . NOW!

    I agree that the shawl looks great on your car, however I like it better on the maker. Hugs

    It is so pretty and that's a lot of yarn! Goodness! A salsa red car huh? I bet it looks good on you!
    I am linking to you tomorrow if that's not a problem. I am loving my book and need to knit faster so I can cast on one of the projects! Love to you! xx

    The shawl is gorgeous and I love the lace pattern in the cowl.

    The spiral pattern on the Hurricane Hat reminds me of the Vanilla Twist Hat by Jaala Spiro. I've made a few of those.

    Everything looks great (so glad I saw them "in person" last week). You put me to shame; I've only finished on pair of sock in ages.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and introducting yourself. I just recently met Brenda and she helped me out with my blog header. I'm amazed at your knitting skills! I recall trying to crochet when I was younger, but it never took off. It's amazing to see so much talent out here in blogland.

    I'm enthralled with that cowl! Delicious! Knitting is my 2012 resolution. Crochet was the 2011 resolution; knitting is next!
