Tri-Color Part 2

I love a good yarn club!  There is something so much fun about getting a package in the mail at regular intervals.  It's like a gift, even though you know you paid for it.  I love Anne Hanson designs.  So what could be better than an Anne Hanson club?  I don't have an answer.  So I joined her Bare Naked Knitspot club this past spring.   As usual I have more knitting time in my head than in real life.

But finally I cast on for a project.  This is the June selection, the Sheltie Triangle.  I cast on before vacation.  Then I had a lot of time in the Jeep--about 15.5 hours each way--and I did a lot of knitting when I wasn't driving.  Seriously, Texas has some boring scenery.  I had some time during vacation to knit too.  I made a huge amount of progress.  I finished soon after vacation was over.  Here's the result.


Knitting at my mom's house, I realized the three colors of yarn were almost the same as the three colors of her kitty.  (She has a real name but doesn't recognize it because everyone just calls her Kitty.)  I pointed this out and asked my mom if she'd like the finished shawl.  She said "yes" so fast and loud!  So the shawl will be hers.

Even if the kitty hairs up my mom while wearing the shawl no one will know since it matches the kitty so well.

Another beautiful shawl, and yes... it does look as though Kitty was the inspiration for the colors!
