After I finished my last shawl I cast on the next one. The pattern is called "Simply Hilary" and once you get into it it is pretty easy. I had to get used to increase the stitches by making a new stitch rather than doing a yarn over as in many other patterns. The yarn is 'I Love this Wool' from Hobby Lobby. I am still chewing through 'Under the Tuscan Sun' I just cannot warm up to this book. It looks like whoever owned it before me gave up on it just a little bit further in than I am now. I found an airline ticket stub that was used as a bookmark (why does nobody ever use hundred dollar notes for bookmarks and then forget them? ;-) ).
Have a great day everyone!

Lovely shawl pattern, and I like your way of doing the increasing :)
I found a £5 note in a book once, unfortunately it was a note that had gone out of circulation many years previously!
Hooray for learning new techniques and the color is so pretty Maria.
I have never found any money either. What is wrong with people leaving useless items in books?! :)
Have a lovely yarn along day.
beautiful shawl and such a great color! Happy knitting!!
Lovely yarn for the shawl! Can't wait to see it knit up :)
It was foggy here in RI this morning too so don't feel bad. The sun is shining now though. Very pretty yarn for that shawl!
Oh goodness, what a depressing thought - to think someone gave up on the book before you! Hmm, maybe it's time to pick up something more fun?
Looks lovely :) And fun for learning on!
I am thinking I am in need of a Spring shawl for myself!! Lovely yarn!
I've never found any money in a book either. Admittedly until now, I hadn't thought I would!
