This is the
Japanese Garden Shawl, by Wendy Johnson. The pattern is being sold as a fund-raiser, proceeds going to the Red Cross for Japanese earthquake/tsunami relief. I should check again, but if memory serves me correctly - she had raised over $4,000 when last I checked. I think the effort lasts through the end of the month. So....if you are so inclined, you know what to do......
It was a quick and enjoyable project. Yarn is Cascade Heritage sock yarn on size 5 needle. I used less than one full skein. That's usually the way when I have more than one skein available. lol.
My postman brought only disappointment yesterday, so I started a spinning project. Speaking or which .....I have a spinning goodie coming in the mail soon. Nope, not more fiber this time! It comes courtesy of the hubbs - he's so supportive of all my "habits"!

It's just beautiful! I'm in awe of your talent and your speed! I just started a shawl myself and I'll be lucky to have it done by summer!! I really like the Heritage sock yarn, but I didn't consider it for a shawl. The stitch definition is terrific!
Beautiful!
Wendy's sales as of yesterday - $5405.
I liked your shawl so much I got the pattern! Had been trying to decide between two and your photo made for an easy decision. Thanks. Don''t you love it when you have an enabler?
Very pretty. I am planning on making this as well and was going to use my Fat Cats handspun that you enticed me with. Please bring it Thursday so that I can drool over it properly. --Cindy
Ohh, your shawl is just lovely, Kathy! You knit so beautifully.
