I just finished knitting up a Boneyard Shawl by Stephen West. A simple scarf? Yes, but oh so lightweight and warm.
Why? Because of the wonderful yarn that I used for this project,
Shelter, from Brooklyn Tweed. It is one of my all time favorites to work with. Seriously, I love this 100% American wool yarn! It is a tightly spun yarn but once it is washed, blocked and dried, it expands and softens up beautifully. (3) skeins later, I have a cozy shawl/scarf to wear next winter.
I chose the color, Long Johns, which is a deep brick red with specs of darker tweedy goodness spread thru out the skein. Thank you Stephen, for creating such an easy to read and easy to follow pattern. He has made a copy of the pattern available at his
website, West Knits or on his
ravelry page.
Bone yard pattern really had me smiling, and the colour Long Johns, I love it :))
