The Way From Brighton

I finished another fun little knit.  The pattern is The Way From Brighton by Joji Locatelli.  The finished project is fabulous and it was fun to knit.  I used some yarn that my parents picked out for me, some Malabrigo Rastita.  It has wonderful colors and I love how they subtly change and shift throughout the shawl.  It took just a tiny bit over one ball of the yarn.  I still have enough to make some Rathtrevor mitts...yeah!


I have to admit, I had previously been skeptical about the "shawl" world, but I am a new convert.  My style is not too girly, though, so I am really liking the more modern/graphic/simple variety than the lacy and intricate.  This could change of course ;)


The bobble fringe was fun to make, and kept things interesting every few rows.
