I CO for a Weigh It Shawl last weekend. Well, really the weekend before. I started on US#6 (because I knew better than the pattern) and then CO again with US#9 a week later (because it turns out the pattern was right). I’m getting a much better drape on the 9s.
Isn’t it pretty? I love love love the colors!
It’s Miss Babs Yowza Whatta Skein in the Perfectly Wreckless colorway. I’ve checked out a bunch of WIPs with this colorway and they vary greatly – from lotsa pink, to lotsa white, to more black/purple (like mine). I didn’t realize they varied so much when I bought it at Rhinebeck but I’m glad I got the shading that my skein has.
The thing that strikes me the most is the quick variation of the yarn. Look at all those colors! I only get a few stitches on one shade and then it’s on to the next. Makes for some great knitting.
These pics are a couple days old and I’m now on the ruffle border. Just 6 more rows and I’ll be done!
I’ll catch you on the purl side…

Speedy knitter indeed, but I agree that those colors are gorgeous!
the pattern is SO simple – i love it! it really feels like it knits itself.
That’s so pretty!! I love yarn with quick color changes – keeps the knitting interesting ?
totally – i’ve been stalking the Miss Babs colorways but i’ve stayed strong (so far!)
Miss Babs has such amazing colorways! this looks awesome, I can’t wait to see it finished
Miss Babs is the bomb! i really wish she was going to Vogue Knitting Live in NYC this weekend. (or maybe i should be glad she isn’t…)
I finished my Brickless last night and wore it to work today (it dried quickly while blocking). Lots of compliments on the color. Should we be colorway twins on Saturday at VKL?
omg that’s awesome! yes colorway twins! the fact that we both bought this independently at rhinebeck is a sign we need to coordinate
I bet it is so addictive – you keep going just to see new colors pop up!
exactly. the colors keep drawing you in.
Three cheers for Miss Babs. Looks gorgeous.
i purposely haven’t checked her website lately because i don’t want to be sucked in. it’s SO HARD to say no!
Looks fabulous, love the colors!
So funny… I do the ‘I know better than the pattern’ all the time, only to realize that I really don’t
This is looking fabulous!
