First Spring Knit Project!

Spring is in the air. It's March and even though this little thing called winter still hasn't said goodbye, odds are most of us can't wait for it to be over.

Now with regards to knitting, I have started to put away most of my winter projects. I am now in the mode for spring knits! Looking into my stash, I decided to use Patons Kroy Socks yarn I have purchased from Michael's a while back. I have never knitted socks before but I have used the same yarn for some fingerless gloves and they were actually nice and warm.

After browsing online for hours, I came across this lovely shawl pattern from Ravelry. It's called Shadow Knitting Sock Yarn Shawl by Kimberly Gintar. The pattern is a free download so you are welcome to check it out.

Here's what I have so far. The first photo doesn't fully capture the colors of the yarn but the second photo does.






For the yarn and needles, I am using Patons Kroy Socks FX Cascade Colors and size US 4/3.5mm knitting needle attachments for a 40" magic loop.

Stay tuned! I will be sharing photos of this lovely shawl once it's finished. Happy knitting!
