Of Yarn and (More New) Knitting

When I first posted about the Seashell shawl I'm knitting, Alison commented that she had just been gifted some very similarly colored yarn, and after a little back-and-forthing, she sent me a delightful package of assorted lace-weight yarns. What a fun mail day!

And though that yarn in particular is not an exact match, it is rather startling how close it is. Perhaps a slightly more pastel colorway? Lovely, in any case.

Meanwhile, though I am still very much enamored of the shawl, I made myself put it aside for something new.

A certain little boy turns one year old in October, and I think he needs a little sweater.

More details, of course, to come.
