Proposed knitting

My dear knitting and Instagram friend, Jenn, is celebrating her one year blogging anniversary on Knitwise, Purlwise! Congrats Jenn!! To celebrate, she is holding a pattern giveaway each week (so go enter and check out her blog!!) :)

I won last week's and Jenn gifted me Pendulum! It is a gorgeous, swoopy shawl that will be perfect to cover my shoulders this summer. I already have yarn for it too.

It's Cascade Heritage in Turquoise and Charcoal. Originally they were to be a Great Divide shawl for my aunt, but the more I knit, the less I thought she'd like the color combo (the turquoise is really hard to photograph!). BUT, I think these two will be perfect as Pendulum.......for me....


I couldn't help myself; these are for #greatdividekal ! #greatdivideshawl when I was at the LYS, I got a potential job offer to work there!!!


I'd love to cast on right now but I know that's not realistic. As soon as I tame the WIP pile I will cast on immediately!


(and just so you don't think I left my aunt without, she will be receiving a Hitchhiker in MadTosh instead...in a lovely light gray that I think will suit her much better :) )

Thank you again, Jenn!!!

  1. Great color combo! I've been eyeing Pendulum as well. It'll be gorgeous!

  2. I knitted a hitchhiker for my mum-in-law about almost as soon as I started, I doubted the colour.
    It all worked out well and on the day I gave it to her it matched her outfit perfectly.

    But that sinking feeling when you're knitting for someone and you're unsure about it is not pleasant. I would happily avoid that if possible.

    1. Yes it's a horrible feeling! (same as that feeling when you just know the item isn't going to fit!)

      I'm glad your Hitchhiker turned out!!

  4. I'm a few days late, in commenting - you are SO welcome! Thank you again for all of your support and kind words over the last year! Your Pendulum is going to be stunning!! I've used very similar Cascade colors (the gray for a Clara dress and the blue for one of my Colorblock Shawls) - I love them!

    1. Thanks again, Jenn!! Maybe by next month I will have enough WIPs off the needles that I can start it! That is my goal anyway :) I've never used Cascade Heritage; it's so soft!
