[...] that takes more concentration. The pattern is also designed to stay on your shoulders (like the Sothia shawl that I just finished), and I find that I like that a lot. See how it is knit to curve around to the front in the photo [...]

Your Sothia turned out just beautifully! And yes, the ruffle is HALF the project time-wise but I think it really makes the piece kinda’ special. Yours certainly is!

I’ve only done one two color shawl. It was a ton of fun, but it is a very simple stripe pattern. I kind of wish I’d done one with something like a ruffle or actual lace pattern.

I’ve just finished the Vulpix, a Stephen West club pattern, and loved working a two-clour shawl!
Unfortunately, it was snatched up as soon as it was finished. The downside of unisex designs…

Love the shots of the shop and all the YARN! Two color shawls…I’v got a couple on my to do list. I’m trying to clear my wip for a TIG Pamuya that is screaming at me in my queue! And I have some really pretty Tosh Light Fragrant that is waiting for its mate (color unknown right now, but I was out gazing at yarn yesterday!) for a two colored shawl. Happy Easter!

I’m working on a Sothia now. I have several sets of yarn picked out, too, including two colors of Wollmeise that are begging to go together!

Love your Sothia. I made one for camp last year and will make another. I love the mindless neverending ruffles for car or knit nite knitting. My husband calls it idiot knitting. And he may be right. Any hints about the first camp project?

Sheri your Sothia is beautiful – I am READY for ruffles despite your warnings – I have done several with ruffles and actually I like mindless knitting for when I am tired.

I have never tried MadTosh ML so my only dilemma is whether to do two colors or not – It’s so hard to pick two colors when you can’t see them in person.

I really like Dried Roses – it is out of the box color for me however I could not decide if anything else went well enough with it or not. Someone was saying when doing 2 color shawls you have to get enough contrast for the stripes to show so that sounds tricky to me.

Hope the Easter bunny brings you lots of chocolate eggs. Melody

Mansfield Garden and Fragrant are gorgeous…might push me over the edge. I hope you still have those in the shop when I come in May.
