Pattern: Top-down Shoulder Warmer by Laura Chau
Yarn: Madelinetosh Vintage in Tart (2.5 skeins)
Needles: US 8 and 9
This is the second time I’ve knit this pattern. Sometimes a bit of luxury about the shoulders is all it takes to brighten up a crummy day.
This color is amazing. In some lights it’s cherry, in others, an almost black-tinted red. In every light, it’s beautiful.

Last winter I noticed Anthropologie had some really lovely long, drapey cowls that could be wrapped close or left swinging down. I fell for them, liking the soft splash of color against the neck. But when I went to the store to look at them, each one had a nasty pick or a run in the fabric (seriously bad idea to keep them in a basket, however fetching they looked). So I decided I would make my own out of a really gorgeous shade of Malabrigo sock yarn, Tiziano red.
The pattern, such as it is, was bunging on a lot of stitches, knitting in the round until almost out of yarn, and then using a stretchy bind-off. Et voila!

The little cloud I started earlier this year never did get much bigger, but it’s fast become one of my favorite wraps.

I’m a bit embarrassed to admit how long it took to get photos of this, especially considering that it was a very fast and easy shawl to make.
