Float My boat

Sometimes, you see a skein of yarn and you need it. You don’t have plans; it just really wants to come home with you–it floats your boat. When I saw this lovely colorway of Feederbrook Farms Entropy I knew I wanted to make something with it and paired it with a solid colorway of Killington to make it stand out.

The small mosaic pattern along the top edge of the shawl flows into a row of little waves along the final edge, nudging you along: you know you want to! Go find that skein that makes your heart sing and turn it into something beautiful and warm!
