Right now I have a couple of fun things on my needles. First is my Love of Spiders shawl, which is from a pattern by Melanie Berg, using custom dyed Sunshine Yarns Luxury Sock … all in fun kits from Little Skein in the Big Wool. I am absolutely obsessed with this shawl and how deceptively easy the slipped stitch pattern is.
Even though this is not a difficult shawl, I do have to refer to the pattern and pay attention to what I’m doing. When I’m on the go or don’t feel like concentrating, I’ve been working on my Garter Goodness, which is another shawl by westknits.
This is a simple garter stitch pattern with yarn over increases separating the sections. The real fun in this shawl is adding color after color and seeing how well they play together. It is also absolutely HUGE.
It’s nice to have a project to suit every mood!

I love both so much! And I love the different colors you chose for each project!
Thank you so much! I can’t take credit for the colors on the first, they were custom dyed for this kit/project. I fell in love!
thank you for these pictures. i am starting this pattern and have been so confused as to how the color changes work. also, confused as to connecting the different sections. your blog and pics made it so easy to understand. thanks so much!
I’m so glad they were helpful! I have had that problem too and other people’s pictures can be so helpful!
so does section 1 wind up being the longest section?
Yes! It’s incredible because each section uses the same amount of yarn but section one appears much larger. You can see finished pics on my Ravelry page. The final section is almost just a thin stripe!
So how did you know when to switch colors?
Or did you just work the entire skein and then change?
