I purchased this yarn while meeting my friend Kim at the LYS. I knew (as did she!) that I was going to cast on THAT DAY when I got home. I did. This shawl is my “carrot” for getting obligations done throughout the day. Do a little work, knit a few rows on Plumpy. Work on the sample knit/test knit, knit a few rows on Plumpy. It is SO FUN!
