In case you&#8217;re wondering why I&#8217;m making so many shawls, I have two answers for you.  First is that here in Texas, we don&#8217;t get very many genuinely cold days, so shawls are perfect to wrap around your neck when it&#8217;s cool out.  Second is that I&#8217;m participating in a 10 Shawls in 2010 challenge on the knitting site <a href=\"http:\/\/ravelry.com\">Ravelry<\/a> &#8212; and this one is number eight!<\/p>\n<p>This is my <a href=\"http:\/\/ravel.me\/addlepated\/siita\">Spring Is In the Air<\/a>, made from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wollmeise-yarnshop.de\/\">Wollmeise<\/a> Twin in Petit Poison Nr. 5.  I ran out of yarn twice on this shawl, which was a minor tragedy because this is German unicorn hair wool and very hard to come by.  Happily, I found a kind Raveler who sent me a few extra grams of the same colorway she had &#8211; only to run out of yarn again 10 stitches away from binding off the entire shawl.  I made use of my cast on tail and managed to bull through it all, only to realize that for whatever reason, the bind off was too tight and I couldn&#8217;t block out any points.  I suppose I could have called this my Comedy of Errors shawl, but I did persevere and make a halfway decent garment.<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring Is In the Air Originally uploaded by addlepated Yet another shawl.
