Summer Flies - Finished!

I finished up the knitting late last night (picot cast offs take forever, but they look nice) and did the finishing this morning.  I loved working with this yarn (The Unique Sheep Green Sheep Cotton Bamboo Worsted) and I love the colors.  The pattern was an easy knit, even if the instructions were written out rather than charted.

Summer Flies

In the meantime I have decided to cast on this little shawl.  The yarn is from The Unique Sheep, and is the first shipment of The Seven Wonders of the World Club.  The yarn is Green Sheep Cotton Bamboo, the colorway is Colossus.  The pattern was for a slouchy beret, but I knew it wouldn't look good on me.  I've been pondering what to make with the yarn, and finally decided to follow the lead of another member of the club and make this shawl.  I love the colors of the yarn.  Lately I've been drawn to these spring colors.  I wonder if it is a reaction to the change in the season and the fact that winter is approaching.  The pattern is Summer Flies by Holly Griffin.
