Over the weekend I finally blocked the
Damson shawl that I knit earlier this month. Another fine design by
Ysolda, is you ask me.

A quick knit that is one of those one skein of sock yarn will do ya'. Might be my new favorite kind of thing to knit.

I did run out of yarn on this one, I had to cut the stockinette portion short. I had to stop at row 90 (I think) and move on to the edging. When I knit the next one and were to run into the yardage issue, I would likely use
the mods that this Raveler did on her Damson. I think it looks great.
