New Design Knitting

I finally let myself cast on this prototype for a new shawl I've been dreaming of lately.  I love the little pop of color and the texture is to die for!  I'm all about textural elements and this one makes me really happy.  So glad I took a break from Bowties Are Cool samples for this breath of fresh air.

I started reading Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs--and while it's terribly interesting, it's hard to read at the same time.  It puts current events in a drastically different perspective.  I'm only a few chapters in...I'll share more as I work through it.

Linking up with Ginny for Yarn Along and Nicole for Keep Calm, Craft On.  Have a great week friends!
