A Shawl Complete Round 2

The third time around this pattern was still fun to work up and watch come together. I think it's the different colors each time and the way they blend together.



The colors in this one make me think of spring and bright gardens to while away the hours in. The last few rows seemed to take longer than before but in all fairness that's because it was sitting next to me while I thought about knitting them instead of actually knitting them. Funny how that makes a difference.



Pattern: Chinook Shawl
Yarn: Knit Picks Alpaca Cloud and Shadow Tonal
