This pattern, the Simple Yet Effective Shawl pattern by Laura Chau, is as easy as the name suggests. I'm very happy with this finished object, made from a single skein of Noro Silk Garden Sock yarn.
I love this new sweater! I finished knitting the second sleeve last night and sewed on some vintage buttons I dug up from my button stash. I would have gone for new buttons last weekend, but for the global economic collapse making me think that maybe I could look at the buttons I already have.
