Yesterday, I did decide to frog the Friendship Shawl and try another pattern. I picked Dragon Wings, which is beautiful! I got it on a PDF download on Ravelry, so I can't post a link here. :( Trust me... I would if I could. You all need to see the beautiful dark red shawl that the pattern designer made. Gor!Geous!
I cast on last night and so far, I am loving it. I think Sue will too. The yarn looks really nice with the pattern so far (although I am only about 14 rows in) and I'm thinking it will just be very, very pretty when its done. I'm very glad that I changed patterns.
Also, I am learning a new skill. Reading a chart. The pattern is charted and so I was a little intimidated at first. Its going well, though, and frankly really easy to read! I always thought charts looked super scary. Luckily, its a chart/line pattern combo deal. The pattern will say K1, M1, K1, work chart from marker to marker.... I can do that. This is a really good first charted pattern for me. I'm learning a lot! :)
Sandy picked up Abbie's Cardigan last night and I'm kind of sad that it left. I may make another for my future daughter (if I have one). I have enough yarn. We'll see. I'm getting a very pretty lavender yarn that I think would work too, so maybe I'll make it in that. :)
