The Falling Leaves Prayer Shawl - Part 1

Here's a project I've been working for the past week:


This is a prayer shawl made for my church's knitting circle. The pattern is almost entirely garter stitch with a yarn over in every row to get the lace effect at the edges. You can find it here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/knit-triangular-prayer-shawl-archived.

The pattern needs two or three skeins of Lion Brand Homespun yarn (this color's Wild Fire), and size 13 circular needles.


Homespun yarn does hide a multiple of mistakes and the dye lot numbers aren't that important, unlike other yarns. As projects go, it's fairly simple.

Why call it Falling Leaves instead of Wild Fire? It reminds me of the changing leaves in the middle of fall. And with all the rain, that's something of a rarity around here.
