I bought some new yarn at the brand spankin new Michael's store we got in my town!!! It was ghastly expensive but I wanted to try it out.
I started out using my usual pattern but quickly realized that it was too tight of a pattern for the new yarn. I looked up a new one in my Prayer Shawl companion book that I have. It's for a lacy triangle shawl. It worked much better.
Obviously it's on larger needles and instead of using the yarn over stitch, I did an increase stitch.
I liked it. It made for a larger, looser shawl and was perfect for this yarn.
Here are a couple of pictures.
It's a very funky yarn made up of many different textures.
I think it's kind of cool!

I love it! I clicked on the photos to make them bigger and you can really see how cool the yarn is. Very funky and cute.
It is pretty nifty. Yay for a new Michael's story in your community. I can only hope.
Shawl knitting must be a useful skill in your far Northern home.
It's awesome. I love mine and wear it even when I go down the street for my coffee at my bff's...look like an old Italian lady..LOL...who cares..a stylish old Italian lady as far as I'm concerned.
Now that looks soft and warm. If I ever got cold feet it's just what I'd want to wrap them with.

Doesn't it attract wolves and polar bears?
