Notes

Yarn held double.

My sister in law wanted a brigh pink color. My initial idea was to use the Poppy color in Holst Garn Supersoft, but she thought the yarn was not soft enough to wear around her neck… So I got some Geranium in Coast quality instead, and it was a good pick, since the color of the yarn matches the color of her sneakers. :)

As usual, the yarn gets very warm after wet-blocking, and remains soft to the touch and fairly lightweight, which makes it one of my favourite yarns !

Since I knit this shawl right after mine in the same pattern, it took me a bit more time to complete, since I don’t really like to do the same thing several times, but my sister in law is well worth it !

The most rewarding of all : she loves it, and wears it a lot !
