I stole this yarn...

... from Lauren's yarn cabinet. She knows about it, so there's no need to go rat me out. I went over for dinner and hanging out, but I didn't bring knitting, which as you all know is just totally unacceptable. She kindly offered me pretty much total freedom to rifle through her collection of fingering weight yarn and start a project. This triangle shawl is the result.


The main green is Dream in Color, and it's squishy and marvelous.  The contrasting stripes are random wool selections from my massive tub o' sock yarn leftover. That tub is still ridiculously full, even with all the stashbusting projects I've been working on lately.



As you can see from these photos, I've included some garter eyelet rows in the sea of stockinette for more interest, and I've reached the bottom border, which is just a block of garter stitch that will hopefully prevent the material from rolling.  A quick and satisfying project using someone else's yarn? Very, very satisfying.
