Gypsy is the winner

>

So far I'm having a much easier time with the Gypsy shawl than I did with Charlotte. This pattern is a much gentler introduction to knitting shawls using charts. The first section has a simple lace section at the beginning and end of each row. From what I can see of the later rows, the lace pattern looks fairly painless. Feel free to remind me what I've just posted when I come on here in a few weeks to vent my spleen at my inability to decipher a pattern!



I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying knitting with Koigu. I'm a real sucker for variegated yarns, but this is the business. It's so soft and springy and there doesn't seem to be any obvious colour repeats so far.

This particular shade reminds me of an autumnal fruit salad - full of juicy berries, satsumas and the odd almond.
