No matter how many shawls or socks I knit, at some point it’s time for something new. Just cuz it’s handmade doesn’t mean it doesn’t get worn out. Or sometimes it just means I want something new. 
My Facebook friend Harmeet made this incredible shawl. We haven’t met yet in real life, but we were introduced by a very good friend. We share a lot in common, not the least of which is knitting. She knit this gorgeous Aranami shawl, I followed the progress on Facebook. 
In order to make the color progression you need two sets of gradient yarns, which means – enough yarn for two shawls, the second one will reverse the color scheme. These aren’t her colors – or so she says, she made this beauty to give away! She also won’t be making the same shawl twice, so I asked if she could send the yarn my way. 
These are so perfectly my colors! And I love the shawl!
So she did! She sent me the yarn! I am so excited, I have a secret knitting project I can’t share yet, but I’m going to ball up these skien and start very soon. Such a generous gift deserves a special thank you. Something every knitter needs, a project bag.
I went for my bright colors. Harmeet’s family is from India, she can handle bright.
This is large enough for a pair of socks on the needles or maybe even a shawl.
I’ve been good about putting on my label, will need to order more soon, might go with a very different look next time.
