After shopping in the morning at Yellow Springs and stopping for lunch and doing some show and tell, our group decided to return to the Fiber Festival to purchase just a few more things that we had missed in the morning. My own goal was to purchase yarn that was NOT Variegated....I wanted yarn that did a fade. The quest was not as simple as I had thought. I ended up in a booth where an extremely helpful lady helped me choose from her selection. Interestingly enough, Dar, told me at a later date (Dar was not with me that day) that she actually knew this lady from her scrapbooking days. And that the lady blogs and that Dar follows her blog in which she tells of traveling via her motor home with her dog and their various adventures.
You will notice on this last photo that there is a triangle pictured. This gives the knitter a picture of how the gradient yarn will show up if you begin with the light green yarn ....it is the proportions of the colors. They gave me a post card that gives a pattern for a garter tab shawl that will look like that when knitted. I have decided that I would like a shawl that is less of a triangle. One that has longer "wings" and shorter triangular part. I think that I am going to try a pattern called a symmetric Trick. It is a free download on Ravelry.
I have not yet decided what size needles to use.
I cannot find this pattern on Ravelry (asymmetric trick). :-(
