Whippoorwill at Camp Loopy

This summer I went to camp. Camp Loopy, that is. I haven't been to camp since I was a 13-year-old Girl Scout and that was a long time ago. (A shout-out to Lazy Acres in Rye, Colorado!) This camp is a bit different. It's sponsored by Loopy Ewe and has three sessions. The first has the theme "Campfire Nights". Each participant made a two-colored shawl, cape, or scarf. I have wanted to make the Whippoorwill shawl (Rav link) since I saw it on a worker at my (now-closed) LYS at the beginning of the year. This was the perfect time to do it!
I'm really happy with this! Come fall (late November around here) I'll be glad to wear this.

The pattern is quite simple. It is mainly stockinette with only a few rows doing something different. The yarn I used is called JulieSpins Merino 370 (Rav link). It's very nice to work with.

As usual, blocking is the magical step that takes a project from a bit of knitted cloth to a great finished product.

Next week I'll be at camp again for the second session, "Hiking in the Mountains". I'm going to make cabled mittens. I've never made cables before. I've never made mittens before. Wish me luck!
