~Joining in with Ginny's weekly Yarn Along - you can, too!~
I have been enjoying the luxury of diving into a nice, long novel in the last few days. I've seen many other Yarn Alongers reading this one, and so was excited to pick it up. I'm not sure what I think quite yet, though. It's not grabbing me the way I imagined it would, but I'm going to keep reading, and see where it takes me.
A friend of mine has asked me to test-knit a pattern. I can't show you too much, but what I love about it is that it's designed to use up all those scraps of yarn left hanging around, and I was inspired by waldorf mama's amazing rainbow knits to see if I could find a rainbow in my stash. I'm looking forward to getting knitting on this, but I have to finish my Multnomah, first. I did end up ripping back the lace, but it was for the best, since I added another repeat of garter stitch to the body before beginning the feather & fan. If I stay on task, I'll be able to wear this scarf/shawl this spring!
I love all the colors of your yarn :) I hope you'll post a picture when you finish the project :)

Rainbow colours are great. My son had me knit a rainbow hat for him for Christmas. I love the stripes!

Nice colors of rainbow, I remember that my mom had a sweater like that, but I don't know what happened cause I never see it again, guess she gave it away :D so pity , it was so nice.

Oh so many posts I've missed of late - love your Clapotis - and your yarn along helper. I read this - I enjoyed it but wasn't enthralled by it in part I think I never read enough of it a stretch and so the different strands didn't flow
