One day I was playing around with a deep blue skein of sock yarn and a wee rainbow set of minis. I inserted a rainbow into the middle of the garter-y sweep of a boomerang shawl, and could literally hear my rainbow-loving heart go pitter-patter. Now all I want to do is make Rainbow Boomerangs, other projects be damned.
Want to join me in blanketing the world with knitterly rainbows?

Yarn
approximately 645 yards/590 m total fingering-weight yarn. I used Knitted Wit Victory Sock in Prussian Blue (375 yds/343 m) and a Sixlet of Smarties in Happy Birthday Rainbow (270 yds/247 m).

Gauge
20 sts & 40 Rs= 4”/10 cm in garter stitch, measured after blocking.
24 sts & 44 Rs - 4”/10 cm in Rainbow Pattern, measured after blocking.

Finished measurements
Wingspan: 86”/218.5 cm; length: 68”/173 cm width at bind-off edge: 54”/137 cm, measured after vigorous blocking.

These are the sets Knitted Wit is putting together for Rainbow Boomerang. You are, of course, free to use anything you wish, but if you’d like to match the samples, these are the colors we have used or will use. The only sample shown now is the Happy Birthday shawl; the others will be shared once finished, over the next couple of months. Please note that these kits are not available quite yet. I’ll post here when they are available.
