a finished project...yea!!!!!

i've been wanting to do a shawl

and

as luck would have it

knit purl hunter was doing a knit a long

i participated in a sock knit a long one other time

but i didn't finish with the group

however

i did finish the socks

crimple sock pattern

i did finish the other sock...just haven't taken a picture~

this project took me out of my comfort zone

i started over time & time again

dental floss became my bestest friend as i ran many,many lifelines

there were several first for me with this project

interlock

a chart that read back & forth

working with three skeins

the ridgely was a challenge for certain

but i stuck with it and finished in time to enter the drawing

 which i did not win...

but

my goal  was not to win a prize

 (although a set of addi clicks would have been nice )

 but to challenge myself & and to add new skills to my knitting repertoire

this project definitely did that for me

the girls in the group were very helpful & supportive

seeing all the wonderful yarn combinations made me want to knit another shawl

if you haven't knit with cobasi, give it a try! 

it's lightweight & stretchy in a combination of  COtton, BAmboo, & SIlk

perfect for summer!
