Arrowhead Shawl - Month Three Done

 

I also knit up month three of my Arrowhead Shawl this past Friday.  I took off early from work, having worked late Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, so I had a nice relaxing afternoon knitting and reading.  I wasn’t sure about the color this month, it is very close to the color from last month and I wondered if there had been a mistake, but looking at the pictures on the pattern card, that is the way it is supposed to be.  I have been working my ends in as I go so I won’t have much to weave in when I’m done.

Arrowhead Shawl - Month Two Done

My February yarn arrived last week, so I spent yesterday during some meetings and this morning to knit up the second section.  I don’t usually go for the more neutral colors, but I’m liking this so far.

Arrowhead Shawl - Cast On & Month One Done

Sometime around the beginning of the month I also cast on my Jimmy Beans Shawl of the Month Club Shawl.  I was feeling a need for a simple project and this one filled the bill, and having recently finished the shawl from last year, I had a set of needles that were the right size with nothing on them.  I’ve done these shawls for the past two years, but I have always waited until I have all of the yarn and then I blast the shawl out in a few weeks.  This year I decided to try a different approach - to work the shawl each month, as the yarn comes.  So, here is the first month.  A nice simple pattern, although some folks were apparently over-thinking it and got themselves confused.

I chose ChiWei’s Choice for my color palette.  The first color is Modern Fair Isle.
