On a rainy MLK day

Not that I am complaining, we do need the rain here in California, fourth FO of 2008:


Pattern: Mossy Jacket by Fawn Pea
Yarn: Cascade 220 Superwash n colorway #884 and Fibranatura Sensational in colorway "Still Water"

I love this pattern, it is so cute and quick, and the Fibranatura Seansational is destined to be among my favorite superwash merinos. I have 4 more balls left, and they are going to be a sweater for Paperino:

Sock Yarn Shawl

Since I have about 20 projects or so due soon for various reasons, I am completely enamored with the one that I am knitting just because:



Your basic top down shawl, a basket full of all my leftover sock yarns, no plan but changing the yarn every ten rows. There has been other knitting too, a present due tomorrow afternoon is done (with about 18 hours to spare!):



Pattern by Fawn Pea, available here, I used one skein of Hill Country Yarns Sweet Feet in Periwinkle, doubling it, and about half ball of Fibranatura Sensational.



A hat to go with these, and tiny tiny socks for a bookmark (pattern by Cat Bordhi here):



But I keep going back to my shawl, and I like it so much that I am going to have a contest about it - come back tomorrow (or Monday.)
