Perfect marriage

Posted in General Info at 11:56 pm by Sue

Don’t you love it when you find a perfect marriage of yarn and pattern? I just finished up a new shawl, and I think it looks great! The yarn is Socos from Ester Bitran Hand-Dyes, and the pattern is Nicky, a free Berroco pattern (available at Berroco’s website or as a Ravelry download.) I made only minor changes to the pattern – I used a US size 13 needle and omitted the fringe, and used 3.5 skeins of Socos in color #305.

I think my favorite thing about this quick project is the contrast between the super-bulky, wooly Socos yarn and the open look of the dropped stitches – this was a fun and fast knit, and I can’t wait for things to cool off here in Texas so I can wear it.

Eager for cooler weather…
