Linda Wilkinson bought some yarn to participate in The Blue Ewe's knit along that is happening end of summer and early fall. I had wanted to buy something in our new yarn store in our neighborhood and decided that I liked Linda's selection enough to copy. Then I looked for a pattern suitable for my yarn purchase and decided on Lisa Hannes' On the Other side shawl.
The yarn is Araucania Huasco Sock. It is fingering weight. I am using size 4 needles as recommended by the pattern. Below is a photo of the yarn sleeve:
I may want to try this pattern another time. However, I found it too hard for the knitting together. I switched to Casapinka's Breathe and Hope which seems to be equally pretty but easier to pick up and put down.
