Congratulations!
Thanks! I am looking at patterns and yarn now to plan for next year! I doubt I would have even made one if it were not for the Shawl Along!

I finally decided on ājumping jaffa popā after weeks of procrastinating over which colourway to buy. Your one was another on my list of potentials along with many others. I hope it doesnāt take long to arrive!
ETA - it has arrived today, New Yearās Eve! Given that we cannot party, this might get started later!

The colors of this shawl are my favorites! They look so pretty all together. I have a cake of this yarn in the colorway Cotton Candy Man for a shawl project (a summer shawl) and Iāve been hesitant to start it because itās stringy. But, the way the color changes happen, I couldnāt resist buying it (and itās a rainbow color theme, which isnāt usually my thing). I might have to dive into it soonā¦ if I start it now, it could be finished by the time summer arrives!

It was easier to do with a larger hook than you thinkā¦I started with an E and it kept splitting the yarnā¦I moved to a G and it was way betterā¦it is a bit looser, but that should be fine for a summer shawlā¦

Oh greatā¦now I want to get another cakeā¦the colors make the slight difficulty in working with this worth itā¦I want to make that Kalinda shawl as wellā¦off to do some New Year Shopping with my stimulus check!
love those coloursā¦some days its hard to decide if i love yarn cakes more than actual cakes. i agree with @Magpie - that mossy green is my favourite shade of them all. so beautiful!!
I hope you manage to choose one easily, I spent weeks trying to decide which one to buy!
Although, I think Wool Warehouse have suspended international shipping for the moment.

I thought they were going to be shipping from their Netherlands shipping yard? I truly love them and want to do what I can to keep them afloat during this bad time.
Yes, I tend to pick the same colors and end up with shawls all in similar colors, so I am trying to do some more varietyā¦I am going to use my t-shirt collection as a guideā¦I ended up buying one of several colors so I want to make a shawl or scarf for each oneā¦that will help me make my choices.
Ahh, maybe they will. There was just a notice on the website when I ordered the other day.
I love the feel of the yarn, I expect I will buy more once I finish this shawl.
How many shawls are too many???
I have no idea what a granny or virus have to do with this (Ha!) but itās beautiful.
I think the pattern was so named ages ago because of how the pattern growsā¦the granny part is the simple double crochet square that is popular in afghans āgranniesā madeā¦lolā¦
Yeah, it is a funny name but an iconic and popular patternā¦
