Wee Tiny Shawl

I have a love / hate relationship with mystery projects. There are certain designers that I love and trust to produce a prodect that I know I will enjoy. Wendy Knits is one of them. So when I came across her mystery shawl (and honestly I don't even remember where I first saw it - maybe on her tweets?) I immediately cast on and started.

Even with a vacation in the middle of all that - I kept up on the clues.  The knitting was easy, the charts are fabulous, there are also line - by - line instructions in case you get lost.

If I were to knit this again (and I just might) I would increase the charts and use just a slightly thinner sock weight yarn.  And make it pink.  I wanted pink this time, but I couldn't find the yarn I knew I had - maybe it already became socks?  Anyway - this time? 

Yarn:  Forever from Miss Babs, this is the "payment" hank from test knitting Maryanne for IrishGirlieKnits.

Needles:  Addi Lace US 5s, circular.

    Very pretty. I'm considering doing my first mystery KAL. I'm hesitant because I like to know what I'm doing and hate the idea of wasting all that time and energy on something I don't like when finished.
    Do I have a control problem?

    It's very pretty. Is this the same pattern as Chan's red one from yesterday? I like that color, and I know you have plenty of clothes that will go with it.

    Very pretty. I was going to gripe that your points were pointier than mine, but I see that once the pins were removed... they weren't.

    Love that Marjie spotted it as the same pattern!
