Madeline Tosh 80/10/10 Sport is so soft and Smoke Stack is a beautiful gray, the color of Vancouver sky today. Fall is almost here! This lighter weight yarn also gives the wrap a lovely drape. I didn’t bother to alternate these well matched two and a half skeins of yarn I used for this shawl.

I used my salad spinner to get rid off the water from the wrap without squeezing the yarn (and remembered to rinse off the spinner carefully afterwards) and blocked it aggressively with over 101 pins.

It’s measured 30cm x 260cm ( seriously taller than me).

By the way, don’t you worry, they are copper color flakes from the granite floor tiles and not dust…I’m still doing a very good job in housekeeping even when I’m busy with my knitting, I think…@_@

A note about the pattern schematic: if you are one of the knitters (like me) who purchased the pattern a while ago, reading helpful notes from Larisa before starting this wrap is highly recommended if you want to knit a perfectly symmetrical one. Mine is not.
