Blackbird Shawl

Toby Roxane Barna has a new pattern out. The minute I saw it I sent her an email to ask permission to use her beautiful pictures.
Get out those mini skeins! The Blackbird shawl features easy shaping and a simple feather and fan lace pattern at the bottom edge. Use a vivid set of mini skeins to create contrasting bands of color. As subtle and elegant as a raven’s wing, Blackbird is a pleasure to knit and to wear.

You’ll need about 415 yds of the Main Color, and about 55 yds of each of the 5 Contrasting Colors.
Purchase the pattern on Ravelry...

A Party of Five kit from SweetGeorgia would work great for this shawl. And guess what, with our next set of kits, we will be bringing in Tough Love Sock. Can't wait, mix a kit with tosh sock (new colours just arrived) or Fave Sock from Fiberstory. 

Or how about a Perspectives Kit from Mountain Colors? 

Crazyfoot: 5 mini skeins, 90 yds each, 450 yds total 

 This is the Crazyfoot Black Cherry kit with a skein of tosh sock in opaline.
The Pale Sage/Moss Blue Perspectives kit with a skein of penumbra tosh sock.
Brights
 Blue/Turquoise
 Red/Pinks
Silver/Purple

The possibilities. Watch the blog because there will be a post later today or tomorrow about our next store KAL. This shawl would be an awesome choice.
