More "Blue" Items and Garter Stitch
I've been blocking some items that were finished and set aside - including several more blue items -- a shawl/wrap in a sky blue color and a crescent-shaped scarf in a darker blue. The light blue item is an alpaca blend, sport-weight, and the darker one is sock yarn.
The medium gray item is a garter-stitch crescent-shaped shawl made from a lovely yarn that seems to be discontinued. It's a lace-weight Suri alpaca blend yarn. I was trying a different method of starting the shawl, casting on 18 stitches at the center back neck rather than 6 stitches. I think it does give a better overall shape to the top edge of the shawl.
