simple yet effective shawl

This has been finished for quite some time, but for some reason I'm only just now getting around to blogging about it. The pattern is by Laura Chau, and is the "Simple yet Effective Shawl." An apt title, since it's ridiculously simple to knit; I'm a big fan of anything I can knit in movie theatres. I used one skein of Pigeonroof Studios Original sock, in the colourway "Comfort", which produced a perfect shawl/scarf. I won't wear it as a shawl, anyways; I'll wear it as a sort of larger neckerchief/scarf:


I'm starting to stress out big time over Sock Summit; I think that I won't be doing anymore shows after this. They're just too stressful, and the financial strain I'm always on before shows is really not fun. One of the upsides, though, is that because I"m dyeing so much, new colourways seem to be sprouting right and left. Two of my favourite ones are Cloudyfold and Bearded Iris; shown respectively, in superwash BFL and BFL:





I'm still updating my Etsy shop on a regular basis, so keep a lookout for lots of new colourways.
