I'm not sure why it's taken so long to blog this little project.

• Project:  Marin -- Marin by Ysolda Teague
• Yarn:  A Verb For Keeping Warm Annapurna Cashmere Yarn, one skein
• Needle:  US 5
• Start to Finish:  November 12 - December 16, 2012

I bought the yarn and pattern for this shawl about a year ago when I took a little birthday trip to the west coast.

It didn't take long to cast on, and I was finished in about a month.

It was a fun and very interesting to knit, with some different but very simple construction & stitch techniques, and it's completely reversible!

I recall that when I unpinned it from blocking last year, I wished that it was slightly larger. If I knit it again -- and I might -- I'd probably go up a needle size.

I could probably block it a bit larger next time, too.

Anyway, I've been wearing it a ton this year. The color is fabulous with the knit jacket I've been wearing most, that someone recently described as being "raisin" colored. 

Originally, I was going to just post the photo above, write a few words, and call it a NaBloPoMo day. Ha. The light's not so great today -- and I may as well get used to that situation for the next six months -- but I managed a few FO photos. Progress!

Hope you had a good start to the weekend.
