Ok, here's a pic of the earthtones shawl. Carmabelle used a soft heather blue yarn, and as you can see, I've already started with the same yarn I used before, Cascade Key Largo, in a pretty blue green color. I've also started to weave in all the ends!

That looks fantastic!

Stagebear - I haven't tried that alternating either, but you can always try it and frog back if necessary ... I do constantly - to the point where I think I've been doing more of that than actual knitting these days. Or maybe bigger needles would loosen it?

Gorgeous!

All my favorite colors are in there!

It will be hard to give that one away!

well, after a couple of double-stranded rows, i played the frogging game. i swatched some more - going up to a size 9 isnt bad, but i'm still not sure i like it.
maybe i'll look for some other yarn. or are we trying to repeat yarn as we finish the shawl?

That's the plan, but you can use a different yarn if you want. No problem at ALL!

wow that looks really nice. I like the idea of repeating the colors back the opposite direction even more now.

After all my bugging about the darn shawl, I'll be sure to get my section done quickly and off to Becky!!!

i'm done with the pretty purples shawl! i decided to stick with my original yarn, but double-stranded it (on size 9's) this time to support more weight. i would have loved to knit some more, but i ran out of yarn :(.

now i just have to write in the journal and package it up. unless something changed, i believe threesmom is next - i just need an address. unless you'd like to meet somewhere in the middle.

here it is: (unfortunately the color is off - the sun is hiding today)
