Cherie Chevron Shawl

 Finally finished Loop.  Very surprised how quickly I was able to weave in the ends.  So this past week I started my new Blue Ewe project: Cherie Chevron Shawl



I would never have chosen this shawl if I had not looked through the projects to find these particular colors and the owner wearing it exactly this way. I found the photos from the original project to not be nearly so appealing.  I am using yarn from the Blue Ewe:

The Variegated is from Tulip Tree Yarn in Lexington in color evening rainbow and the Red background color is Symphonie Terra in Red Rose.  I am using size 6 needles








I am really enjoying knitting this shawl.  I am using my old method from when I used to do a lot of texture knitting of putting the pattern on notecards with a rubber band.  I used a new method of making the notecards.  Since my pattern was digital, I copied and pasted each row on mailing labels with row number on each.  Then I used the mailing labels on my notecard....it has turned out great.  And I love the fact that when I finish each row I know the stitch count on that row has turned out perfectly.  Which means that I never have to pull out more than one row because of mistakes.
