It must have been an impulse buy when I bought three skeins of Rowan Creative Linen yarn. I had made a shawl to go with the jeans that I bought for Mary's wedding:

But I didn't end up liking the shawl with the jeans....and as fall is getting closer, I wanted a shawl that I liked. I had found a sweater at LL Bean that I love with it and wanted the perfect thing to wear with the outfit...we'll see if I succeed in liking this new project. I am using the Rowan Creative Linen in a kind of dark raspberry color. The pattern is Wave by Kristen Finlay. It is a free download on Ravelry.
Here is a picture of the shawl from Ravelry:
But I wanted to document the beginning of this shawl as I really like the shape that it seems that it will give me. It starts with four stitches and increases every other row by 4 stitches which makes it a lot wider than deep. I find this shape to be easier to wear than the triangular shawls.
