I can't remember the last time that I knit something for myself. Honest. Don't get me wrong not a day goes by without me knitting but it's not for myself. I am always knitting something for a client, a friend, a family member, a new baby, or for charity. So I said to myself "self it's time to make something for me."
After hours of searching through my knitting library at home and on Ravelry I decided on the Striped Study Shawl by Veera Välimäki. I have been eyeing this beauty for quite some time. Veera has a great eye and I love each of her many patterns. Simple, classic and wearable. I plan on knitting a few of her designs such as Color Affection, Different Lines, and Folded to name a few.
One sunny day I decided to drive to a great, not so close, knitting store called Woolbearers which is located in Mount Holly. A cute little town. After a couple of hours wondering around, reading and feeling the yarn, I decided to splurge and get Madelinetosh Merino Light.
Could not wait to get home and start this project!
Here are the colors:

It's coming along wonderfully! The yarn is so soft and such a pleasure to knit.
More to come soon!
