rust


Spring is coming. It must be the warm sun and singing birds, the sound of snow starting to melt. Season is changing and i found myself longing for change too. So i decided to knit myself a shawl - a project which I've never done before. (Baby steps, nothing too radical.)

Pattern: Textured Shawl Recipe by orlane (Ravelry-link)
Yarn: Cascade Yarns Venezia Worsted
Needles: 6 mm


This yarn is so soft and slightly shiny. It was fun to work with, though with metallic needles it was a bit slippery. The pattern (or recipe) was easy to follow and i love the texture (it really is what is says). I think i would like to knit a bigger one some day.
