Stonecrop Shawl ~ guest blogger Karen
Good morning! I'm thrilled to be here and participating in the knitalong this year. My name is Karen and I blog at pumpkin sunrise. Right when Melissa posted the choices, I fell in love with the Stonecrop shawl. Garter stitch with lace sounds decadent and a wonderful way to herald in a new year.
I chose this yarn from my stash that has been patiently waiting for the perfect project. Hopefully, I have enough yardage or I can creatively fudge the pattern. If not, I will switch out the yarn and substitute something else from my stash.
I have romantic visions of wearing this shawl to my daughter's wedding in the summer, assuming the dress I buy compliments the shawl. I think only knitters would chose the shawl then the dress!!
Looking forward to seeing everyone else's choices in the coming days :)
edited by Melissa to do a little housekeeping : if you're new to the blog and don't know about our knitalong here's a link ~ jump in if you'd like ~ there's still time!

My Favorite Pen Pal
look what was on my doorstep when I got home from work tonight....

my best Ravelry buddy Swanski sent me the most awesome 'just because' care package! if you're not drooling already, click on the photo for a better view!

her favorite teas (just what I need to combat the dreary NW weather), handmade soap from her vacation at Cape May in New Jersey, a pen from her local LYS ~ Swisher's Yarn Basket in Danville, Pennsylvania, homemade stitch markers that her sister Canoekey made (thanks, sister!), the cutest felted acorn and 2 HANKS of Nantucket Heather in Merlot from the Times Remembered booth at the Pennsylvania Endless Fiber Festival last weekend (LOVE ALL OF IT!!!), and a sweet beaded knitted pouch that she made herself (which I also LOVE!)
you topped what I sent you by a MILE, Karen!!!! I love that you put so much thought into everything ~ totally made my night! It's nice to have such awesome pals ;)
....now to plot and plan what special thing to make for myself with the 380 yards of wine colored bliss!
