Shawl

Yesterday I cast on a shawl from this beautiful Berroco Vintage Chunky yarn.  I saw the yarn and just loved the color and I think it will be perfect for a cool spring night!  The pattern is simple so it was perfect for knitting while watching the Super Bowl.

My Knitting Philosophy

I have a few things I think I should share right up front:

• I hate swatching!  I know that every good knitter should swatch, but I would rather just jump right into the project.
• My daughter Caitlin calls me a yarn snob!  I started out buying yarn from my local craft store but once I started knitting with beautiful yarns I just can't go back.
• I hate yarn snobs, especially the ones who work at yarn shops!  Not everyone know the yarn lingo (DK, worsted, finger...blah blah) and you just need to be patient and work with us!
• I love knitting and my biggest fear is that I will gift a project to someone who does not love it as much as I did while I was knitting it for them.
