Shawlettes
In September of last year, I knit the Milkweed shawlette, and I found a new love. This knitting craving goes well with my fingering weight stash, and the end result is a little touch of girly without being a full on shawl. Best of all, it's faster than a pair of socks and makes a great gift!
Which is why I've knitted a couple of shawlettes lately. First off, Damson:
Pattern: Damson by Ysolda Teague
Yarn: Zen Yarn Garden Serenity Sock in Gold Dynasty
Started: 10/17/11
Finished: 11/6/11
I've had this yarn hanging around from the Woolgirl sock club for a while, and when I decided to knit a shawlette for someone who loves fall colors I figured this was the right yarn.
Unfortunately, for some reason I ran out of yarn quite a bit before the end. I checked and double-checked my gauge, but I'm really not sure why. (I also foolishly ignored the comments of another Raveler who had run out of yarn using this same kind.) Luckily I was rescued by someone else with the same yarn and was able to finish the shawl! I've already picked out yarn for my Damson, one with lots of yardage. ;)
Then I knit Multnomah as yet another gift shawlette:
Pattern: Multnomah by Kate Elsa
Yarn: Yarn Daze Sock in Snoopy Pirate
Started: 11/20/11
Finished: 12/4/11
I have a couple more on the needles for me, but first I feel the need to knit some socks...

I have been on a shawl kick as a late & I am not sure why because honestly I don't wear them. But they are so fun & interesting to knit.
I love the color of your Damson.
I have had the Multnomah in my Queue for ages hopefully I will eventually get around to it.
I have lots of sock yarns, well that is about the only kind of yarn I do have.
The shawlettes are a great idea to use the yarns and make such nice gifts!
I love the ones you have knit.
Beautiful! I, too, feel a shawl phase coming on... yarn is already wound for Be-Leaf, and yarn for Damson has been set aside. I think it's contagious...
