I recently joined Ravelry which is an online group of knitters and crocheters.  I am staggered by the amount of information and support there.  I have been playing around for the last couple of days trying to figure out exactly what my next project will be.  I was working on a shawl made with Vanna's Choice in purple Mist that I just could not get to work like I wanted it to.  After ripping it out probably close to a dozen times, I put that yarn away and went into my stash bag and pulled out this little gem Tweed Stripes in a color called Caribbean.  Trust me, the web site does NOT do this color justice.  It is a lovely blend of blues, teals, purples and greens.  It is soft and just delicious to work with. I chose a pattern called Gentle Waves by Karen Klemp.  The pattern as listed is made to do a scarf but I just took the repeat of 12 and made it shawl width of about 24".     This is the start...and my picture doesn't do the color justice either.
